STEVENS POINT – SentryWorld announced that volunteer registration has begun for the 43rd U.S. Senior Open Championship.

SentryWorld, a public, parkland course in central Wisconsin, will host the event—its first U.S. Senior Open and third USGA championship — from June 29–July 2, 2023. The championship, expected to attract more than 75,000 spectators, will feature many of the world’s best golfers aged 50 and over.

“Volunteers are the backbone of any successful USGA championship,” said Steve Marino, SentryWorld’s 2023 U.S. Senior Open Championship Director. “Volunteering at the U.S. Senior Open will give you a behind-the-scenes and up-close look at world-class golf while you give back to the central Wisconsin community.”

Volunteers will need to purchase a uniform package for $95 plus tax. The package includes two championship logoed golf shirts, one logoed windbreaker, one logoed hat or visor, one logoed clear drawstring bag, one official commemorative lapel pin, one logoed water bottle, and one credential valid for all seven days of the championship (non-transferable). As a volunteer, you receive complimentary food, snacks, and beverages on the days you volunteer.

About 2,000 volunteers are needed for the event. Volunteer opportunities for ages 14–21 are available with no required uniform package to purchase.
