Sad, SO sad. Trump Organization and PGA reach settlement over 2022 championship dispute.

The PGA in January announced it was cutting ties with the Trump Organization following the Jan. 6 insurrection, when then-President Donald Trump’s supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol. The golf association decided it would move its championship event away from Trump’s New Jersey golf course, with its CEO saying at the time: “We find ourselves in a political situation not of our making.”

The Trump Organization then entered a legal dispute with the PGA over the canceled contract, which the two sides announced had been settled on Tuesday. No additional details of the settlement were released.

No details were released, but the tournament still won’t be held at Bedminster as a result of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

That's probably how he makes most of his money. Sue everybody under the sun, and then get them to settle so he will leave them alone.

I moved the family to WA state from Chicago area to reduce cost of living.
Joined a cheap working man's golf club called Orchard Hills in Washougal, WA.
That move saved my life. I began walking on the hilly course, gradually building up to
5 rounds of 18 holes a week. My health made a turn around and I am still here after
23 years in retirement. I am sure I would have been dead 20 years ago without golf.

“The Trump Organization’s contribution to the golf community is appreciated,” the PGA of America said in a statement. “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.”


tfg will be happy to run with this for quite a while.
