What Will The Golf World Do After NBC Says To Trump: You're Fired!

/

Business Insider's Maxwell Tani reports on NBCUniversal's severing of all ties to presidential candidate Donald Trump following his assertion that most Mexican immigrants are rapists and drug runners (except, no doubt, for the ones working at his businesses). This means no more Miss USA, Miss Universe and "The Apprentice" reality shows.

But what will happen to the Grand Slam of Golf, headed to Trump National Los Angeles this fall and next March's Cadillac Championship at Doral?

Tani writes:

Trump responded quickly at an appearance in Chicago, and hinted that he was the one who ended the relationship.

"They didn't want me to run because they wanted me to do the Celebrity Apprentice," Trump told reporters. "They were not happy," Trump said.

"I think as far as ending the relationship, I have to do that, because my view on immigration is much different than the people at NBC," Trump said.

Following Univision's announcement last week, Trump slammed the television company. The real-estate mogul banned network executives from his Miami golf course and said that he would pursue a breach-of-contract lawsuit.

The saga seems like an inevitable and potentially problematic by-product of Trump's effort to appeal to extremists after having built considerable credibility saving and rejuvenating multiple high-end properties.

How will golf's various organizations who are in business with Trump or are threatening to do business with him--PGA of America, R&A, USGA, European Tour and the PGA Tour--respond? Stay tuned...
