“UNLV opened my eyes to the world of hospitality and its deep impact on the golf industry, backed by a world-class curriculum. But what truly set my experience apart were the industry connections forged through the Hospitality College & PGA Golf Management Program. Those relationships opened doors in my professional life, and I am grateful to UNLV for providing an amazing runway to pursue my career.”Kyle Helms, PGA, 07', Director of Membership, PGA of America
