Los Angeles (AFP) - The PGA Grand Slam of Golf, featuring the year's major champions, will be moved from Donald Trump's Los Angeles course in the wake of his controversial remarks about Mexican immigrants.

The PGA of America announced Tuesday that it was pulling the two-day October event from the Trump National Los Angeles by mutual agreement with the Republican US presidential candidate.
