Hello Volunteers, 

I hope you are all doing well and staying safe. First, I want to say thank you for your patience. I know it has not been the easiest with all the uncertainty, but I have appreciated your continued support of THE NORTHERN TRUST.  We have been in communication with our local government officials and the State of Massachusetts to grant us the ability to stage THE NORTHERN TRUST in this COVID-19 environment. We have been approved by the State of Massachusetts to hold THE NORTHERN TRUST at TPC Boston in August. In the current environment, only select committees are needed on site at this time. This is not something we hoped to do, but in order to hold an event, we must make sure we are keeping safety as our top priority. 

Please see the list of committees below that will NOT be needed at our tournament at this time:

• Admissions
• Ambassadors
• Caddie Support
• Championship Office
• Course Prep
• Hospitality
• Kids Village
• Mobile Marshals
• Marshals Practice Area
• Marshals Scoring Area
• On Course Vol Support
• Player Childcare
• Player Services & Player Registration
• Practice Range
• Special Events/Honorary Observers
• Spectator Movement
• Standard Bearers
• Starters

Please see the list of committees below that WILL be needed at our tournament at this time:

• Vol HQ
• Marshals
• Player Transportation
• Player Shuttles and Carts
• Supply Distribution
• Shipping and Receiving
• SHOTLink
• Walking Scorers
• Media Center 

Only committees that were chosen will have access to the grounds during tournament week. If your committee was not chosen but still would like to volunteer, please click the link below to register for our Waitlist. If your committee was chosen to work, your Chairman or Captain will be in touch within a few days to discuss next steps on how to verify your schedule with your Chairman. Please note that the number of volunteers per committee needed has been reduced, so not everyone will be able to work who has registered on your committee. All shifts will now also be All Day shifts. All leaders and volunteers that chose to work will be required to sign a new waiver in order to volunteer. Additional on-site protocols will be communicated as we get closer to the tournament.

Each volunteer who is not scheduled or does not feel comfortable to volunteer, will be fully refunded. Please note that this process may take 30-60 days. Please know that we are grateful your continued support and you are an integral part of this tournament each and every year. As THE NORTHERN TRUST moves back to Liberty National in 2021, you will be granted first priority registration. You will receive information after Boston 2020 on how to make sure you register first. 

As things remain fluid, we will continue to monitor the situation and if anything changes, we will notify you. If you have any questions, please reach out to your Chairman or Captain.

Again, thank you for support and please stay safe!  

Best,

Megan
