[Golf Topic] Trump-Owned Golf Course "PGA Championship Hosting Canceled?"

This is a scene of Donald Trump, President of the United States, visiting Trump National Golf Club, the battleground of the 2017 US Women's Open, waving to the gallery.

[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] ○…Donald Trump, the U.S. president facing impeachment, is showing signs of being shunned even in the golf world.

On the 11th (Korean time), media in New Jersey reported that the Professional Golfers' Association of America (PGA of America), which hosts the PGA Championship, is considering changing the venue for 2022 and will announce it after President Trump leaves office. The battleground is Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey. The PGA of America is concerned about the possibility of President Trump using the event for political purposes.

The U.S. midterm elections will be held in 2022. When the 2017 U.S. Women's Open of the LPGA Tour was held at Trump National Golf Club, the tournament organizers were displeased with President Trump's ostentatious attendance. At that time, numerous security personnel accompanied him, and even reporters not related to golf crowded the event, which reduced attention on the tournament and players. The PGA of America has not disclosed where the new venue will be moved.
