VOLUNTEER FAQ's
All volunteers are required to purchase a basic volunteer package. This includes a credential, parking pass, volunteer shirt and cap, and meals on the days worked during tournament week.
Food & beverage will be available on days worked, in the Volunteer Headquarters building next to the main practice chipping green. The volunteer uniform and credential provides admittance. Volunteers stationed out on-course have the option of using nearby concession stands. Please note that the Volunteer Headquarters facility is for working VOLUNTEERS ONLY on the days you work. No friends or family members are allowed access to the Volunteer Headquarters.
Volunteers can park at a dedicated lot convenient to Colonial, and be shuttled to the golf course.
Please click here for a list of volunteer opportunities. The tournament organization includes numerous volunteer committees that perform a variety of tasks. A few do some work prior to the event, but the bulk of volunteers do most or all of their work during the tournament week (i.e.: Gallery Management, Hospitality Ambassadors, Competition Support etc.). Committee chairpersons typically seek volunteers who can work several days during the tournament.
Each committee assigns specific tasks and times of work to each volunteer prior to tournament week. Most volunteers return year after year, which sometimes leads to relatively few openings for new volunteers each year, unless new committees are formed or existing committees enlarged – which can happen at any time. Some very popular small committees have waiting lists, while other large committees offer the opportunity to work right away, such as the Gallery Management Committee.
