PGA Set To Remove Trump Bedminster Club As Venue For The PGA Championship
According to Golfweek, The Professional Golfers’ Association (PGA) has decided to strip the Trump National Golf Club of being the host for the 2022 PGA Championship in light of the recent unrest at the Capitol on January 6.
“The odds that ’22’s PGA Championship will happen as scheduled in New Jersey are about as good as the chances of you or I winning it,” wrote Golfweek. “Moving its major from Trump National has been debated internally at the PGA for more than two years, but executives have been reluctant to antagonize a famously vindictive man who controls the Internal Revenue Service. Such concerns melt away in 10 days, if not sooner.”
The Trump Organization responded with a statement of their own.
"We have had a beautiful partnership with the PGA of America and are incredibly disappointed with their decision. This is a breach of a binding contract and they have no right to terminate the agreement,” stated the Trump Organization.
“As an organization we have invested many, many millions of dollars in the 2022 PGA Championship at Trump National Golf Club, Bedminster. We will continue to promote the game of golf on every level and remain focused on operating the finest golf courses anywhere in the world,” continued the statement.
