How do I resolve this Selenium exception on a Mac thats says "chrome not reachable"?

Question

I'm trying to learn how to automate web processes using Selenium and hopefully be able to build robust web scrapers and stuff. So, I just finished installing Pycharm and Selenium, and I am just trying to run a simple snippet of code that opens a web page in chrome, nothing too fancy. My code is as follows (it's in Python of course)

from selenium import webdriver


PATH = "/Users/Kudzie/Tools/chromedriver"
driver = webdriver.Chrome(PATH)
driver.get('https://orbitrevolution.tech')

So , when I run this code, I get this exception, and I have no idea how to solve this, I've tried reading past variations of this question but i didn't seem to get a solution that works. the exception is as follows

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/Kudzie/PycharmProjects/Web Scraper/main.py", line 5, in <module>
    driver = webdriver.Chrome(PATH)

Try replacing this:

driver = webdriver.Chrome(PATH)

With this:

driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=PATH)
