American PGA unveils Donald Trump’s Bedminster course on hosting rights earlier this month
The 2022 PGA Tournament will be held at Southern Country Club in Tulsa, Oklahoma after the American PGA was selected to replace the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster.
The American PGA unveiled a New Jersey course on hosting rights earlier this month, days after supporters of former U.S. President Donald Trump attacked the U.S. Capitol.
Competition organizers believed the use of the Bedminster course would harm the PGA brand.
The event will now travel to Tulsa for the fifth time, and the first since Tiger Woods won there in 2007.
“Excited to return to SHCC for the fifth time,” PGA America said on Twitter. “The course offers a challenging but fair test for the strongest golf course. “
Southern Hills has also held two U.S. Open in 1958 and 1977.
Collin Morikawa is a defending PGA Champion after winning his 23-year-old headmistress at TPC Harding Park in San Francisco, California last August.
The upcoming 103rd PGA Tournament is scheduled to take place at the Kiawah Island Golf Center Ocean Course in South Carolina from May 20-23.
