(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Kwon Hoon = The 2022 PGA Championship, which was held at a golf course owned by former US President Donald Trump, will be held at Southern Hills Country Club (CC) in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
The PGA of America announced on the 26th (Korean time) that it has decided that Southern Hills CC, which has held seven major tournaments so far, as the venue of the 2022 PGA Championship after searching for it.
The American Professional Golf Association, which initially decided to hold the 2022 PGA Championship at the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey, convened an emergency board of directors on the 6th after a shocking incident in which the enthusiastic supporters of the former President of Trump invade the US Capitol. In the year, it was decided to change the venue.
The Southern Hills Country Club, which opened in 1936, is a prestigious course held three times at the US Open and four times at the PGA Championship.
At the 2001 US Open, Retif Gussen (South Africa) missed the 60cm championship putt on the 72nd hole and was dragged into the 18-hole overtime and barely won the topic. At the time, besides Gusen, there were several short putt mistakes, and players complained that they had mowed the green grass strangely.
