Whitson calls time on near 50-year career as PGA Professional 👏
Following a gripping Irish Open at Royal County Down Golf Club, Head Professional Kevan Whitson is calling time on a career that has spanned 6 decades. The Scot, originally from East Lothian, first stepped into the world of coaching in 1975 and has enjoyed a storied career since - becoming one of just over 50 Master Professionals.
"I will retire at the end of October after the Irish Open, and for me that feels like a very natural marker," Commented Whitson. "I had my forays into playing like most pros and certainly thought I was going to be an awful lot better than I ended up! But I quickly realised I had a passion for coaching and that has been a driving force in my career, helping other people to improve at all levels."
