Richard Bland wins on debut at Kitchenaid Senior PGA Championship

Richard Bland made his Senior Major debut after playing on LIV Golf. With a break in the schedule for the Saudi-funded tour, he played at Harbor Shores and earned a victory.

Bland hadn't realized that the Senior Major allowed golfers who'd competed on the European Tour in the last five years to play, so he was allowed into the field despite the split between the PGA Tour, DP World Tour, and LIV Golf.

Since his schedule allowed, he asked and was invited to compete. It couldn't have been a more perfect outing for Bland, who said via AP:

“The British Masters was very special at 48. This is right up there. I couldn’t be happier. I’m going to celebrate the h**l out of this one.”

Bland's brother had been diagnosed with stomach cancer in the last year and lung cancer more recently. The senior golfer dedicated his win to his brother and played quite well, with eight birdies in 12 holes during the final round.

The victory does provide an interesting path forward for Bland. He is still with LIV, but he's 25th in points and not guaranteed a spot in the tour next year. On this, he said:

“I don’t know how many doors this is going to open. Obviously, I’m now committed to LIV... This is my first event. I was interested to see if I brought my game how it would stack up against these guys. Thankfully, it does.”

Perhaps the Kitchenaid Senior PGA Championship win will push him to look at other options in the future.
