The PGA Championship

The final round of the PGA’s US Open is this weekend, at one of the most famous golf courses in the world: Pebble Beach. Selection of the course to be played for the US Open and PGA Championship is a big deal. Indeed, this year’s PGA Championship was estimated to have a $120 million economic impact on the area around Bethpage Black, on Long Island. Today, I signed a petition asking the PGA to move the venue for its 2022 PGA Championship. It’s currently scheduled for Trump Bedminster, in New Jersey. But I don’t believe the president should be able to profit so grossly from the tournament, its sponsors and its spectators.
