Intersport is seeking to add a smart and driven aspiring sports management professionals as interns for the 2026 Skechers World Champions Cup supporting Shriners Children's, held November 30- December 6, 2026, at Feather Sound Country Club.

The Tournament Office is a fast-paced working environment. Tournament Interns must have the ability to work under pressure and handle many tasks at one time.

In the weeks leading up to the Tournament, the intern will work around (20) hours work weeks; however, as we grow closer to the Tournament, work weeks will lengthen to eighty-plus hours (80+) and will include early mornings, evenings, and several weekends. This is an extended commitment and will provide a more sustained and deeper learning experience than a typical internship. The interns’ collective contribution will be critically necessary for planning and executing a successful World Champions Cup.
