Golf enthusiasts looking to get closer to the action while making a meaningful impact have an opportunity to do both at the upcoming APGA Juneteenth Classic. The tournament will be held June 15-17 at Chester Washington Golf Course in Los Angeles, California, and organizers are currently recruiting volunteers to support the event.
Volunteering at an Advocates Professional Golf Association (APGA) Tour event offers participants a unique behind-the-scenes experience in professional golf. Volunteers will have the chance to interact with players, assist tournament operations, and contribute to an organization dedicated to expanding opportunities in the sport.
Founded in 2010, the APGA Tour was established to create a more inclusive pathway for professional golfers from historically underrepresented communities. The tour provides competitive playing opportunities, player development programs, and exposure for talented golfers seeking to advance their careers. Over the years, the APGA Tour has become one of the most influential diversity initiatives in professional golf, helping launch the careers of numerous players while working to broaden participation throughout the industry.
The APGA Tour has earned support from major golf organizations, corporations, and industry leaders, including partnerships with the PGA TOUR, equipment manufacturers, and corporate sponsors committed to growing the game. The organization’s mission extends beyond competition, focusing on mentorship, career development, and creating greater access to golf for future generations.
The APGA Juneteenth Classic is one of the tour’s signature events, celebrating both competitive excellence and the historical significance of Juneteenth. The tournament brings together talented professional golfers from across the country while honoring the spirit of perseverance, achievement, and opportunity.
Volunteers play a vital role in the success of every APGA Tour event. Responsibilities may include assisting with player registration, scoring, spectator services, course operations, hospitality, transportation, and other tournament-related activities. In return, volunteers gain valuable experience, networking opportunities, and a firsthand look at professional tournament operations.
Chester Washington Golf Course, a historic municipal facility in Los Angeles, provides an ideal setting for the championship. The course has long served as an important venue for introducing diverse communities to the game and continues to be a gathering place for golfers of all backgrounds.
Individuals interested in supporting the APGA Tour’s mission while experiencing professional golf from inside the ropes are encouraged to volunteer for the APGA Juneteenth Classic. Whether you’re an avid golfer, a student interested in sports management, or simply someone looking to give back to the community, volunteering offers a rewarding way to be part of an event that is helping shape the future of the game.
