Floral polo shirts: the discreet team behind the success of the Omega European Masters

If you see someone wearing a floral polo shirt during the Omega European Masters, you're probably looking at one of the 320 staff members! These passionate people work with expertise and great team spirit to provide an unforgettable experience for players and spectators alike. Each member of the team plays a key role in ensuring that the tournament runs smoothly, with their tasks divided between several sectors.

The sectors in question? They include the marshals, the mobile scoreboard and leaderboard teams, the steward, the Club House, the ticket office, reception, transport, and many others. In all, around fifteen teams work together to make the event a success, under the coordination of sector managers who ensure that everything runs like clockwork.

Every year, hundreds of enthusiastic volunteers apply to join the adventure, testifying to the appeal of this not-to-be-missed event. While the majority of the staff are Swiss, French and German speakers, a number of international volunteers also come to lend a hand during this intense week.

This work begins well before the tournament: the teams in charge of logistics get down to work three weeks before the event to install the infrastructure, and continue their mission until a week after the end of the competition to dismantle it.

In short, the floral polo shirts are much more than just colourful outfits: they symbolise the commitment and passion of those who, behind the scenes, contribute to the success of the Omega European Masters. Thanks to their professionalism and dedication, not only do the talents of the world's best golfers shine through, but the whole event radiates a friendly and festive atmosphere, to the delight of all participants and spectators alike.
