Late Sunday night, the Professional Golfer’s Association of America (PGA), was the latest entity to distance themselves from President Donald Trump. The announcement stated the association has officially canceled the PGA Championship tournament from being played at the Trump Bedminster golf course.
In a statement released by PGA of America President, Jim Richerson said, “The PGA of America Board of Directors voted tonight to exercise the right to terminate the agreement to play the 2022 PGA Championship at Trump Bedminster.”
Richerson gave a complete statement regarding the reasons for the contract termination and released a video which can be found on the organization’s website.
“The PGA of America is [a] nearly 105-year-old association with a perpetual mission to serve its member golf professionals and to grow the game,” Richerson said. “Fulfilling that mission for all and enabling PGA professionals to do so today and in the future is of paramount importance to the PGA board of directors and our leaders.”
