Yes, youth volunteers are welcome at the championship.  Please contact the Championship Office, at usseniorwomensopen@usga.org, for specific details on which committees are available for juniors. 

All volunteers for the 2024 U.S. Senior Women’s Open Championship will be required to volunteer a minimum of four (4) shifts with each shift lasting approximately five to six hours. Volunteers will be responsible for arriving at their assigned positions on time. The USGA will host a virtual orientation session for volunteers in August of 2024.

We will make every effort to accommodate your scheduling requests. Make sure to list your request on your volunteer registration form and select similar availability.

Volunteer assignments will be made to volunteers who have completed their registration online and submitted their volunteer payment. You will be able to log into your volunteer account and view which committee you have been assigned to as well.

Volunteers will be sent an e-mail regarding Shift Availability in the June 2024 We will use these forms to create the volunteer schedules for each committee. You will be notified of the dates you are scheduled to work in mid/late July.  As always, we will make every effort to accommodate your availability preferences; however, we cannot guarantee each request will be granted. If you are traveling from out of state and made travel arrangements, please indicate that on the form.

All volunteer committee assignments will be final once made available. We will attempt to assign each volunteer to one of his or her committee preferences; however, in many cases this will not be possible due to the requests for certain committees greatly outnumbering their respective staffing requirements. If the committee preferences you selected are full, we will assign you to another committee that still has availability.

Yes, you will be issued a refund if you cancel before July 1, 2024. Please contact the championship office to request a refund at usseniorwomensopen@usga.org or 908-396-1553.

Men and women may wear their own khaki pants or shorts. Women may also wear khaki skorts or skirts of appropriate length.

Since a majority of volunteers will be standing for long periods of time, we recommend wearing comfortable shoes.  You may wear golf shoes without metal spikes.

When you are not on shift, you may use your camera or mobile device camera and ask for an autograph before or after the player’s round.
