Getting There: PGA Championship promises improved access By Associated Press | May 14, 2021 at 4:27 PM EDT - Updated May 14 at 4:58 PM
KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. (AP) The golf, as it usually is at the Ocean Course, was spectacular. Getting there to see it unfold at the PGA Championship nine years ago was more of a struggle.
The major championship returns to the dramatic, sea-swept course next week with organizers promising a different experience for those attending.
“We did learn a lot in 2012,” tournament director Ryan Ogle said.
There was plenty to learn. The Ocean Course is tucked at the end of a barrier island in the Atlantic Ocean about 30 miles from downtown Charleston. Access much of the way is limited to two-lane roads. That led to massive traffic jams for spectators driving in and buses transporting fans, media and others.
