Donald Trump’s Bedminster course replaced by Southern Hills as 2022 PGA Championship host

Oklahoma’s Southern Hills Country Club will replace Donald Trump’s Bedminster course as host of next year’s PGA Championship, organisers have confirmed.

Bedminster, in New Jersey, had been due to become the first Trump-owned course to host a men’s major, but was stripped of that right following last month’s attack on the US Capitol building. Supporters of the then US President Trump stormed the Capitol while members of congress were voting to certify the result of November’s election, which saw Joe Biden elected president.

The R&A, organisers of The Open, adopted a similar stance, ruling Trump’s Turnberry course in Scotland out of hosting any of its championships ‘for the foreseeable future’.

Southern Hills has hosted seven men’s majors in total; four PGA Championships and three US Opens. Its most recent saw Tiger Woods win the PGA in 2007.

"Excited to return to SHCC for the fifth time," the PGA of America said on Twitter. "The course offers a tough-but-fair test for the strongest field in golf."
