CANCELED.

The 2020 Senior PGA Championship, that was scheduled from May 19-24 at the Harbor Shores Resort in Benton Harbor Michigan, has been canceled for the year.

The Championship will not be made up later in the year. The decision was made based on the decision to stay-at-home in the state of Michigan.

“While we are incredibly disappointed, we all understand that protecting public health is the highest priority,” said PGA of America CEO Seth Waugh. “We are  especially disappointed for the Benton Harbor community, our friends at KitchenAid and the fans and volunteers who support this important championship so passionately.”

“This was not an easy decision. This Championship means so much to our KitchenAid brand and the Southwest Michigan community, however the health and safety of our community is our priority,” said Jeff Noel, vice president of communications and public affairs for Whirlpool Corporation, parent company of KitchenAid. “We thank our corporate and hospitality partners and our 1600 volunteers for their continued support of the Championship. The contestants have become a welcomed extension of our community over the years and while we are incredibly disappointed that the Championship will not return to Benton Harbor in 2020, we know that this is the right thing to do.”

The 2021 KitchenAid Senior PGA Championship will be played at Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa Oklahoma, May 25-30.

It will return to Harbor Shores in Benton Harbor Michigan, 2022.

The PGA of America has already postponed the National Club Professional Championship, and the PGA Championship has been delayed until later this summer.

The Ryder Cup is still on schedule for the late September at Whistling Straits in Haven/Kohler Wisconsin.
