Trump’s New Jersey course stripped of hosting PGA Championship
Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, N.J.

TRUMP National in Bedminster has been stripped of next year’s US PGA Championship after organisers said using the course would be “detrimental” to their brand.

The PGA of America has voted to move one of golf’s four major championships away from the course in New Jersey, less then a week after supporters of the US President staged a riot at the US Capitol.

PGA of America president Jim Richerson did not explicitly reference events in Washington DC in a statement announcing the move.
