Have you ever attended a major championship and stopped to wonder how everything was built? Who are the people who plan, coordinate, build and execute these events?
Today we get to spend time with Brandon Haney, Director of Championship Operations for the PGA of America, who will take up behind the curtain and into the inner workings of a major championship.
In our time with Brandon we will learn:
- How a Division I football player fell into a role with the PGA during the 2012 Ryder Cup
- What a 'swamper' is and why they are so critical to the success of any championship
- How Brandon rose through the ranks of the PGA of America Operations team to the top
- The challenges and obstacles he navigates through each championship
- His advice for those who are interested in pursuing a career in tournament operations
