The KitchenAid Senior PGA Championship has announced Pam Klyn will serve as the general chair for the 84th event in May of next year at Harbor Shores in Benton Harbor. Klyn is currently the senior vice president of corporate relations and sustainability at Whirlpool. Championship Director Brandon Haney tells us as the general chair, Klyn will lead the Championship Operating Committee.
“It consists of community leaders that help lead a few different aspects and planning groups within that committee,” Haney said. “It helps us with our hospitality sales, with our community initiatives and different programing and giveback opportunities that we have, as well as our volunteer committees.”
Haney says Klyn is a dedicated member of the community who serves as a board member for the Boys and Girls Clubs of Benton Harbor and as a trustee for the Whirlpool Foundation. She’s been with Whirlpool for 30 years. The KitchenAid Senior PGA Championship brings together nearly 1,000 volunteers each year. It’s slated to be held May 23 through May 26, 2024 at Harbor Shores. As for whether the championship will be back in the area after that, Haney says “those conversations are ongoing.”
