Beyond the Course
Can a golf management degree help if you’re not PGA-bound?
Absolutely!
Places like retail golf shops to golf courses and everywhere in between are always in need of people who understand their businesses and are looking to help other golfers with their game.
Degree holders are prime candidates to become head or assistant golf professionals, general and golf course managers, even tournament directors, and rules officials. Having earned a golf management degree, your knowledge will always be in demand by golf businesses and institutions worldwide.
So, no matter what your current skill level is on the course, golf can still play a part in your employment future.
Meaning Business

With a golf management degree, you’ll have the knowledge and skills to understand the business behind golf and how to succeed in the industry. As a graduate, you will have developed a network of golf professionals and fellow alumni to assist you in your own golf success story. Becoming a golf clinician or coach means you’ll be your own boss in a job you’ll look forward to every day. Golf employs millions of people across the U.S. in a variety of jobs and positions.
