“Live sports are coming back to the Lowcountry,” said Scott Krenitski, Charleston’s Chief Revenue Officer. “With our resumption of the 2020 season, we’re also looking ahead to 2021, and the 2021 PGA Championship being hosted at Kiawah Island Golf Resort’s Ocean Course is a big deal for Charleston sports. From one sport to another, it’s a legendary resort, legendary event and legendary course bringing sports fans together in the Lowcountry. Featuring the 2021 PGA Championship at our match this Friday, and providing fans exclusive access to ticket registration, is just a part of building that excitement.”
