🎾 Another Woods at the US Open story!

Woods patron Melissa Hershberger has made the trip to the US Open for six years now, so she knows a thing or two about making the most of tennis’ biggest stage! 🎾🗽

One of her favorite matches she got to see live this year was a doubles match featuring Kateřina Siniaková and Taylor Townsend. And according to Melissa, the atmosphere is a huge part of what keeps her coming back:

💬 “I love the atmosphere, especially on the outer courts and in Armstrong. It’s full of people who love tennis like I do. The crowd was super into it and there were tons of true tennis fans.”

Six years of US Opens, countless matches, and plenty of memories — we love seeing our Woods community making the most of the tennis world’s biggest events! 💙

More US Open stories to come! 👀🎾

🎾🗽 Woods at the US Open!

This year, Woods patrons the Rathe family, took home our US Open package from the Woods Tennis Center fundraiser live auction — and they definitely made the most of it!

Their package included tickets to the US Open, including a night session and quarterfinal session, plus a three-night stay in an amazing corner unit in Midtown Manhattan. Talk about a pretty incredible tennis getaway! 👀

And apparently, the experience has been even better than expected. During the Zverev match, the crowd was light enough that the ushers surprised them with courtside passes! 😍

And to make the trip even more Woods-connected, they met up with Kevin to catch the end of the fifth-set tiebreak of the Tiafoe match! 🎾🔥

We absolutely love seeing our Woods community enjoying the US Open — and knowing that this incredible experience came from supporting Woods at our fundraiser makes it even sweeter!

More Woods at the US Open stories coming soon!

We have a lot of people from our Woods community at the US Open this year, and we’re so excited to share their stories! 🎾🌎

Starting us off is our fearless leader, Kevin, who is at the US Open coaching wheelchair players! While he’s been spending most of his time coaching and practicing with his players, he’s also managed to run into a few Woods alumni, team members, and familiar faces from our tennis community — and, of course, sneak in a little time to watch some amazing tennis! 👀

We love seeing our Woods family representing on one of the biggest stages in tennis! 💙

More US Open stories to come! 😊🎾

Introducing our Tennis Industry Internship Pilot Program!

Woods is thrilled to offer an in-house tennis pilot program. Over the years we have been fortunate to grow our base of players and coaches from within our own programming. We wanted to offer a formal internship for those interested in learning more about the tennis industry and different opportunities that are available to potentially grow into a full-time position within the industry. This will be a school year, paid, rotational career-pathway program for high school seniors and college aged interns.

Rotations will include on-site coaching, community outreach, stringing and racquet tech, front of house/reservations and facility and grounds.
