The National Black Justice Coalition (NBJC) is calling on the PGA Tour and Masters Tournament to pull the upcoming event from Augusta National Golf Club in reaction to the recent passing of Georgia’s voter bill, SB 202.
The NBJC is also urging professional golfers to boycott playing in Georgia until the bill is repealed.
NBJC executive director David J. Johns said the law was created to restrict the voting rights of Black and disenfranchised voters in Georgia.

While I can’t speak for whether PGA will move or not, I do see how asking a major event to move to another city would get local election officials to take notice, as their constituents may tell them to reconsider the bill, and similar bills/laws.
Damn right they should move the PGA to another city, and while your at it stop drinking coke.
Unbelievable wha’s happening in GA! I feel for every step forward we take, we are taken 100 steps back!!
