US PGA has decided to terminate the contract with Trump National Golf Club, Bedminster, New Jersey.
The news comes just days after the unrest and storming of the Capitol when Congress would vote through Joe Biden as the new president.
The organization announces in a statement that, among other things, their brand may be damaged.
- After the tragic events on Wednesday, we feel that we can no longer be at Bedminster.
The damage could have been impossible to repair.
The only right decision was to leave, says CEO Seth Waugh to AP.
A spokesman for the Trump organization tells ABC News that they are extremely disappointed.
- It is a binding contract and they do not have the right to break.
As an organization, we have invested many, many millions of dollars in the 2022 PGA Championship, says the spokesperson.
The ladies' US Open was played on the track in 2017, but critical voices then wanted to move the major after Trump's derogatory comments as women during the election campaign.
No new venue has been presented yet.
