Bermuda Championship Seeking Volunteers
The Bermuda Championship’s BF&M Volunteer Programme is now accepting online applications for golf competition committees for the 2020 Bermuda Championship, which will be held from October 26 through November 1 at the Port Royal Golf Course.
A spokesperson said, “The Bermuda Championship’s BF&M Volunteer Programme is now accepting online applications for golf competition committees. These committees assist with competition-related operations and are necessary for safely conducting a PGA TOUR event. The tournament returns for its second year October 26 through November 1 at Port Royal Golf Course, Southampton.”
John Wight, Group Chairman and CEO of BF&M Limited, said: “As official Volunteer Programme Sponsor for the second year, we look forward to welcoming new and returning volunteers. As we all know, in 2020 COVID-19 is impacting how sports events are run around the world and we at BF&M want to emphasise that the health and safety of all is our number one priority.
“We know it’s the priority of the PGA TOUR organising team as well. We believe a successful event can be run with rigorous and appropriate safety measures in place and we look forward to supporting our wonderful volunteers, who play such a critical part in showcasing the beauty of Bermuda to the world.”
A spokesperson said, “The Bermuda Championship will require a safe and responsible environment for players, caddies, volunteers, staff, and all those involved in conducting a PGA TOUR event. To review the PGA TOUR’s notice to volunteers, click here.
