Trump National stripped of 2022 US PGA

[Captainron]

Just come through that the decision has been made to change venue following what happened last week.

Seems it’s just too much of an issue to associate with the owner.

I don’t recall the last time a major was moved to another course.

They had to act given the association with Trump and the riot. They also had to act quickly if they were going to arrange another course to take it on.

 

[KenL]

Correct decision.

?

His courses will never have a major again and I suspect won’t have any tour events at all

Guess that’s what happens when you act like a spoilt child in front of the world and incite a riot

Bloke is a bloody idiot

If he is removed from society for a period of time to reflect on some of his decision making, what would happen to his courses that he owns over here.

Seeing as the one in Aberdeenshire has been operating at massive losses for the past 8 years

I'll wager Justin Thomas is delighted with this news

As the Empire begins to crumble courses will get sold off but some will be closed.
His loans may well be called in and he'll need some cash.
Could be an interesting few months.

Let's get a bid in for it. I can put a fiver in the pot to start with.

No more hassle of finding new venues for forum meets. It's perfect.

You can be head of swear jar operations.

I have a feeling that over the next few months it could be the least of his worries. although the right decision.

If we can divide the bill by the number of people willing to buy in then let’s go for it.....

I suspect if his name was not in the name of every course then it would be less of an issue but it is so it impacts. Sadly, I doubt his ego would allow them to revert back to their original titles so this is what he is left with.

Smiffy, as that has appeared directly under a Liverpoolphil post, could you clarify which bloke you mean please?

I wonder how long before he sells Turnberry and Aberdeen.

Would be interesting to see who’d buy them

Forum crowd funding page ?

Didn’t know it was the second time one of his courses has been cancelled from holding a Competition. The other time being in 2016

Pretty clear statement from the R&A

I have played 3 Trump courses, 2 of which weren't at the time. Doral, in Miami, reminded me of The Brabazon, a long and not very enjoyable slog, but with palm trees. Pinehill, now Trump National Phailadephia, is a pretty nice course in the hills of New Jersey near Pine Valley. Trump bought it after it collapsed in the financial crisis a while back. Trump National LA, near Long Beach, was the venue for one of the golf reality shows. It is a very unimpressive course, an 18 hole crammed into a space too small for it, with some vulgar adornments like the ubiquitous waterfall added.

Hard to comment without being political. It also makes the recent planning permission granted to extend Trump Aberdeen a highly fascinating subject again. Your move, scotgov?
