Late today, the PGA of America revealed that the PGA Championship at Harding Park in San Francisco has been postponed. That event was slated for just days ahead of the KitchenAid Senior PGA Championship at Harbor Shores in Benton Harbor. As you might expect, the move leaves the fate of the KitchenAid sponsored event in limbo for the moment.
Here is what the PGA of America shared this evening:
STATEMENT FROM THE PGA OF AMERICA ON THE KITCHENAID SENIOR PGA CHAMPIONSHIP
Late today the PGA of America announced the postponement of the PGA Championship at Harding Park, which had been scheduled for May 11-17 at TPC Harding Park in San Francisco. We are working closely with the PGA TOUR in hopes of finding an alternate date later in the summer at TPC Harding Park when it is safe and responsible to hold the PGA Championship.
In our conversations with the PGA TOUR, we are also discussing the best options for the KitchenAid Sr. PGA Championship, set for May 19-24.
We hope to have an update in the near future and sincerely appreciate the patience of our wonderful volunteers, fans, supporters and our partners at KitchenAid. The health and safety of all involved in this prestigious championship is our highest priority.
Stay tuned for further details from Championship Director Ryan Ogle and his team as they get shared with sponsors, patrons, volunteers and hospitality investors.
