About Baltusrol Golf Club
Baltusrol Golf Club, synonymous with champion-ship golf, sits at the base of Baltusrol Mountain in northern New Jersey, only a stone’s throw from New York City. With a rich heritage that dates back to 1895, Baltusrol is considered one of the country’s premier private golf clubs. Its two championship courses, the Lower and Upper, have played distinguished roles on the national golf stage since their creation by Golden Age architect A.W. Tillinghast. Together, the courses have hosted 17 major championships, including seven U.S. Opens and two PGA Championships. The Lower Course is currently closed for an extensive renovation performed by famed architect, Gil Hanse. The Lower Course will open in the spring of 2021 and will host the 2023 KPMG Women's PGA Championship and the 2029 PGA Championship.

2020 - Miriam Hernandez-Kakol
Miriam moved to New Jersey more than 30 years ago with the idea to complete a two year assignment at Bell Communications Research and then return to her lovely beach side community in Southern California. Fate and two young sons intervened and 30 years later she still lives in Florham Park, New Jersey with her husband, Glen Kakol. The two were introduced by their two young sons who had become fast friends. Miriam relishes spending time with their children and five grandchildren both here in NJ and at their beautiful home in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. She is an enthusiastic golfer, having played in various PGA and KPMG-sponsored events with Phil Mickelson and Stacy Lewis, both brand ambassadors for KPMG. Miriam and Glen are members at Fairmount Country Club in Chatham, NJ as well as Vista Vallarta Golf Club in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
Miriam is a senior partner at KPMG in the Short Hills, NJ office. As global head of KPMG’s Management Consulting business, she plays a significant, trategic role
leading a team of more than 24,000 partners and professionals to build and execute its strategy, to deploy client facing global priority solutions, and to maintain the business’ double-digit growth momentum.

Before this role, she led the firm’s Global Customer and Operations practice, which is focused on delivering industry-specific solutions for the front and middle office challenges of Fortune 1000 clients. In this role, she oversaw a team of more than 2,000 partners and professionals. In 2009, Miriam helped to launch KPMG’s Management Consulting business which since its inception has been the fastest growing part of KPMG’s global Advisory portfolio.
