PGA of America says 2022 PGA Championship won't be played at Trump course

The 2022 PGA Championship will not be played at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, N.J.

The PGA of America announced Sunday night that it is canceling its contract with the Donald Trump-owned course, just days after a large group of Trump supporters illegally and forcibly stormed the U.S. Capitol in protest of the recent presidential election.

"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," Jim Richerson, PGA of America president, said in a one-sentence statement.

The PGA’s decision to move its major championship away from a property owned by the President, whose four-year term is set to end in less than two weeks, isn't unprecedented.
