Please join us in welcoming our newest staff member at Washington Golf, Eric Sjogren, PGA. Eric joins the WA Golf Championship Department as an Assistant Director of Rules & Competition.

**Get to know a little bit about Eric:**

*Give some background on yourself:*

I was born and raised in Vancouver, Washington. After starting at Washington State University, I transferred to the University of Idaho where I completed my degree in Marketing with an emphasis in PGA Professional Golf Management in 2017. In my free time, I like to attend as many sporting events as possible and I enjoy staying active with my wife, Cara.

*Where did you get your start the industry? What’s your favorite thing about golf?*

I spent several years at Bend Golf Club (Bend, Ore.) and Royal Oaks Country Club (Vancouver, Wash.) before joining WA Golf in the spring of 2022. I particularly enjoy being around the tournament atmosphere and having the ability to grow the game of golf through competition.

*Who would be the three other players in your dream foursome?*

My father Greg, grandfather Bob and brother Jeff.
