The PGA of America REACH Foundation, the 501(c)(3) charitable foundation of the PGA of America, has announced the 2024 class for the PGA WORKS Fellowship, which includes Winchester’s own Hannah Corso.
Corso currently attends the University of Massachusetts Amherst.
The PGA WORKS Fellowship, established in 2017, provides the opportunity for a one-year paid immersion in a PGA of America Section’s Foundation operations. PGA Sections oversee the 41 regions of the PGA of America across the United States and help create the network of communication and community for PGA of America Golf Professionals and amateur golfers nationwide.
The PGA WORKS Fellowship is one of the most valuable entry-level opportunities for individuals from diverse and underrepresented backgrounds to gain experience in all facets of the golf industry. The Fellowship gives recent college and university graduates a first-hand look at everything that a career in the $102 billion golf industry can provide.
The primary responsibilities of this year’s 27 PGA WORKS Fellows will be to support and execute philanthropic initiatives for the charitable foundations of their respective PGA Sections. This includes assisting with marketing, communications and fundraising activities, as well as PGA HOPE programming for Veterans and junior golf initiatives such as PGA Jr. League and Drive, Chip & Putt.
“Our PGA WORKS Fellowship program has become an incredible resource for recent college graduates to get their foot in the door within the golf industry and make real contributions to their local communities and PGA of America Sections,” said PGA of America President John Lindert, PGA director of Golf at the Country Club of Lansing, Mich. “The Fellows experience how meaningful a career in golf is and the majority continue down that path following their Fellowship. I’m looking forward to seeing the future success of our 27 Fellows.”
