PGA Settles with Trump Over Cancellation of 2022 PGA Championship at Trump Bedminster
Breitbart ^ | 12/28/21 | WARNER TODD HUSTON

Posted on 12/28/2021 12:59:36 PM PST by conservative98

“The PGA of America (“PGA”) and The Trump Organization today announce that they have reached a settlement resolving their ongoing dispute regarding the PGA’s decision to cancel its contract with Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey to host the 2022 PGA Championship,” the press release stated.

“While the terms of the settlement will remain confidential, representatives from both the PGA and the Trump Organization expressed satisfaction with the agreement,” the statement said.

The PGA also praised the Trump organization:

“The Trump Organization’s contribution to the golf community is appreciated. We are thankful the company employs hundreds of dedicated PGA Professionals and consistently gives back to the golf community through hosting charitable events and sponsoring junior golf programs. As stated in 2014 when announced, Trump Bedminster is a major championship-worthy golf course and in a portfolio along with some of the finest private and public golf courses anywhere in the world.”

The statement ended with a few words from Eric Trump, Executive Vice President of the Trump Organization:

“We have great respect for the work of the PGA. Over the past 20+ years, we have enjoyed working with the PGA to deliver to our club members and the public some of the greatest golf experiences anywhere in the world. We look forward to continuing to support the mission of the PGA and its Professionals, who are the best in the golf industry.”

The PGA decided to strip the tournament from Trump’s establishment in the aftermath of the riots on January 6. The PGA said it had “no choice” but to strip Bedminster of the event. Trump, though, declared that the tour had “no right” to pull the event from Bedminster.

Trump being magnanimous in victory.

It must have really hurt those pigs at the PGA to say nice things about The Donald. Lol.

New Jersey has a top state income tax rate of 10.75%. I’m sure the top golf pros were thrilled when the PGA decided to dump that event and move it somewhere else.

Apparently Trump was right, again.

sounds like Trump was extremely pleased with the settlement....I’d say he took them to the cleaners.

It’s getting hard to watch golf anymore. Every tournament is sponsored by some corporation, and we have to listen to some corporate bobblehead prattling on about all the woke projects they are “partnering” in.

Agreed. I love golf, I hate woke. I’m so sick of hearing about the minority struggle, etc. Problem is, Golf Channel is owned by NBC - Nothing But Commies.

There will come a time soon when I just don’t watch tv.

If Eric Trump is involved and he thinks “we’re good”, the Trumps got something $$$$ out of this.

I attended the US Womens Open when it was held at Trump Bedminster. It may have been the most beautiful and well taken care of golf course the women ever played on. It is just disgusting that the PGA of America and The PGA Tour took tournaments away from Trump.
