Make an Impact Beyond the Fairway

The European Tour Group is one of the world's leading golf organisations. We are responsible for the DP World Tour, HotelPlanner Tour and Staysure Legends Tour, and alongside the PGA of America, we co-organise golf's greatest team competition, the Ryder Cup.

At the DP World Tour, we're committed to creating memorable sporting experiences while leaving a lasting positive impact on the communities, environments and destinations we visit around the world.

Through Golf for Good, the European Tour Group's Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programme, and Beyond the Fairway, Ryder Cup Europe's CSR and legacy programme, we work alongside host venues, partners, charities and local communities to deliver meaningful initiatives that drive positive change.

We're now looking for a CSR Programme Delivery Lead to help shape, deliver and enhance these programmes across the DP World Tour and Ryder Cup Europe.
