“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.”

The Ocean Course at Kiawah Island Golf Resort is no stranger to championships having hosted the 2012 PGA Championship that saw Rory McIlroy best the field by eight strokes on his way to a second major title. In partnership with the new era of Charleston Battery leadership, both parties plan to inject excitement into Charleston area sports for the next several months.

“With professional golf back in action, we’re moving full steam ahead in planning for the 2021 PGA Championship and the return of major championship golf to the Lowcountry,” noted Scott Reid, 2021 PGA Championship Director. “The Battery are the first to bring back live team sports to Charleston, and we’re proud to partner with them for their July 24 match against Atlanta and to provide their fans with exclusive access to ticket registration for next May’s PGA Championship.”
