This week we sit down with Jason Soucy, Championship Director for the 2028 PGA Championship at the Olympic Club, for a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to stage one of the biggest events in golf.


Jason takes us inside the enormous scale of a major championship — from building a “startup” years in advance for what is ultimately one week of golf, to coordinating thousands of workers, city agencies, broadcasters, vendors, players, and fans. We talk about the evolution of the fan experience, what makes Olympic Club a special championship venue, how a course is prepared to crown a worthy champion, and what success looks like when the trophy is finally hoisted.


It’s a conversation about stewardship, spectacle, and a side of golf most of us never get to see.
