PGA Of America Searching For Trump Bedminster Replacement

**Well not long after this went up, the PGA of America board voted to rescind the event and posted this statement on Twitter:

"The PGA of America Board of Directors voted tonight to exercise the right to terminate the agreement to play the 2022 PGA Championship at Trump Bedminster." — Jim Richerson, PGA of America President

I thought I’d be easing into The Quadrilateral but the beauty of the newsletter format? I could send out news on the PGA Championship and Trump Bedminster.

My reporting is a bit more careful in characterizing the timing and status of the PGA of America’s effort to leave the 2022 PGA site. The situation is still developing, which is news itself for those reading between the lines.

My reporting certainly differs than some fairly oddball recklessness that I note in the item: NJ.com taking a prediction by Golfweek’s Eamon Lynch and making it news.

Signing up to The Quadrilateral is free for now, check out the item here.

In other reporting, Golf.com’s Alan Shipnuck says a few venues have emerged and that Bedminster members aren’t happy, either (Tweet since deleted).

This week in The Quadrilateral I’ll be breaking down these venues and other options that have been mentioned by sources. It’s trickier to find a venue on short notice than you might think.

Just spoke to a key source close to the '22 PGA. They say it's a done deal that it will be moved from Trump Bedminister but the PGA is waiting until post-inauguration to announce. Southern Hills/Liberty National are the top contenders as a landing spot. Shoal Creek making a push.
