PARSIPPANY, N.J., May 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Most jobs come with a desk—this one comes with a fairway. Cue the echo of a perfect tee shot: Wyndham Rewards, proud title sponsor of the upcoming 86th Wyndham Championship, is offering one golf-loving go-getter the chance to step inside the ropes as the tournament director's right hand (wo)man for the day. In exchange for a job well done, the gig comes with $10,000 cash, insider access, pro-level perks—and an experience that plays well beyond the final round.
This coveted job isn't just about folding polos or fetching Arnold Palmers. We're talking clipboard in hand, headset on, assisting the conductor who makes the Sedgefield Country Club magic happen. Alongside their operational role, the first-ever Wyndham Rewards Fairway Fellow will also contribute and assist with content creation on tournament social media channels. In exchange, they'll receive a $10,000 pay day, plus other perks including an upgrade to Wyndham Rewards Diamond membership, $500 Pro Shop shopping-spree, all-expenses-paid travel and hotel accommodations and VIP hospitality suite privileges throughout the week, including access to Club Wyndham Beach.
"Wyndham Rewards makes experiences more rewarding—whether that's on a dream vacation or on the course at the Wyndham Championship. Our Fairway Fellow will have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to work behind the scenes of a major PGA TOUR event and, in turn, walk away with access, upgrades and an unforgettable experience that only the No. 1 hotel rewards program can deliver."
