A New York City-owned golf course managed by former U.S. president Donald Trump's business is expected to host a Saudi Arabia-supported women's tournament in October, city officials said Friday.
The plan to host the Aramco Team Series at the Trump Golf Links at Ferry Point in the Bronx comes after New York City's attempt to cancel Trump's contract to run the course was thrown out by a judge in April.
Former Mayor Bill de Blasio said shortly after Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, that he was cancelling Trump's contracts to run the golf course and several Central Park concessions.
The Democratic mayor said the city had the legal right terminate a contract with a company whose leaders are engaged in criminal activity such as inciting an insurrection.
