THE NORTHERN TRUST Player Transportation Committee volunteers
provide transportation to players, their family members, TOUR staff and VIP guests
before, during and after the tournament.
See below some of our volunteers having a blast during the tournament a few years ago, when we were at Bethpage Black.
Volunteers also assist with the car inventory and control the distribution of official tournament vehicles. The committee also assists in the return of vehicles after the tournament. Drivers must be at least 25 years old and provide a valid driver’s license. This Committee sometimes requires a lot of downtime due to the players' unpredictable schedule so it is recommended that you bring a book to pass time. If downtime allows, you may even have the chance to check out play in-person as we are usually located near the driving range or one of the holes.
You get to drive some nice cars and get to meet some really nice people.
2021 Tournament Dates: August 16 - 22 Liberty National GC, Jersey City, NJ
Register on the 'official' TNT (THE NORTHERN TRUST) website or contact us for further questions.
We will soon start posting information for 2022. Volunteer registration for 2021 is closed now, but stay tuned for 2022 info. If you don't volunteer in 2021, come visit as a spectator at Liberty National Golf Course.
Just like in 2019, for 2021 at Liberty National, we are planning to be in the 'PIT'. We will have a large trailer very close to the Media Center and - most importantly - to Player Parking. We also have Transportation Volunteer Parking just outside of the Service Entrance to the PIT in close walking proximity to our office.
We will be driving players and family members this year and therefore all Player Transportation volunteers are required to be fully vaccinated. Special communication will happen through your Chairman Andreas and the tournament office.
THE NORTHERN TRUST Volunteer Uniform
All volunteers are required to wear THE NORTHERN TRUST official
volunteer uniform while on duty. The official volunteer uniform for 2021
consists of a polo shirt (part of your volunteer package) and khaki bottoms (shorts and golf skorts are
acceptable). Please do not wear the official uniform when off duty.
THE NORTHERN TRUST Volunteer Parking and Shuttle Times (updates pending for 2021)
Player Transportation Volunteer Parking will be located in close proximity to the course. Please see committee internal emails from your chairman.
