“It has become clear that conducting the PGA Championship at Trump Bedminster would be detrimental to the PGA of America brand,” he continued. “It would put at risk the PGA’s ability to deliver our many programs and sustain the longevity of our mission.”
“Our board has thus made the decision to exercise our right to terminate the contract to hold the 2022 PGA Championship at Trump Bedminster,” he concluded. “It was a decision made to ensure that PGA of America and the PGA professionals can continue to lead and grow our great game for decades to come. Thank you for your continued support and passion for the game we all love.”
This is yet another blow to President Trump in response to the January 6 pro-Trump rally at the U.S. Capitol, which turned violent. The rally took place while Congress was certifying the Electoral College results, declaring Joe Biden as the official president-elect.
Most mainstream social media platforms banned or suspended President Trump accounts, the PGA joined the bandwagon.
