Two weeks ago at 10:01 p.m. ET on a Sunday night, days after a mob of President Donald Trump’s supporters breached the United States Capitol, the PGA of America announced that Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey would no longer be hosting the 2022 PGA Championship.
Next year’s major championship now has a new host according to the PGA of America: Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
In a column earlier this month on Golfweek, Eamon Lynch wrote that moving the 2022 PGA Championship had been debated internally at the PGA of America for more than two years, but executives had previously been reluctant.
