The KitchenAid Senior PGA Championship is back in Benton Harbor for the fourth time. Ryan Ogle is the tournament director and tells us there is a lot to do this week in and around Harbor Shores.
“It is a major championship, but it’s more than just a golf event, it’s a community event,” Ogle told Morning Sportsbeat on 957 & 1400 WSJM Sports. “It’s for all ages. Our juniors 17 and under can come in free, military members and our opportunity to say thank you to them and have them come in for free.”
The golf starts with Tuesday’s Pro-Am, followed by practice rounds on Wednesday and the Championship itself will tee off on Thursday. The champion will be crowned on Sunday. There are new things this year, from KitchenAid giving away shopping sprees for appliances for lucky fans who scan winning tickets to the championship, to the Makers Trail 19th Hole with local beer, wine and spirits and Amtrak dropping off fans coming in from Chicago right at the course. We will be carrying the KitchenAid Senior PGA Championship live on News/Talk 94.9 WSJM in the afternoon Thursday through Sunday, and for the first time, you’ll be able to listen to our coverage as we stream online at WSJM.com.
