NEW YORK – One of the central themes of this week’s PGA Annual Meeting has been the association’s ongoing efforts to grow the game.
It was little surprise then that Donald Trump, whose road to the White House was at least partially defined by divisiveness, was also a topic of conversation considering the PGA plans to hold two upcoming championships (the 2017 Senior PGA Championship and ’22 PGA Championship) at golf facilities owned by the president-elect.
“We’ve said from the get go that we’re not a political organization, we’re a golf organization,” said PGA CEO Pete Bevacqua.
