The PGA of America has decided it will no longer stage the Grand Slam of Golf, the 36-hole event typically contested by the year's major champions.
The event was not staged in 2015 after being moved from Donald Trump's course in Los Angeles in the wake of the US presidential candidate's controversial remarks about Mexican immigrants.
The PGA of America initially said they were exploring options for a different venue before cancelling due to "timing and logistic issues," issues which have now led to the event being discontinued.
A statement on the organisation's website read: "After carefully evaluating the PGA Grand Slam of Golf over the past few years and studying how this event fits with today's golf landscape and the PGA of America's long-term strategic plan, the PGA has decided to discontinue the event.
"When the PGA Grand Slam of Golf was launched in 1979, the golf world was much different than it is today.
"The PGA Tour's wrap-around schedule, the European Tour's Race to Dubai, plus other important international events, make the fall schedule very busy and hectic for the top players in the world.
"It had also become challenging to attract fans, television viewership and media interest. While we have enjoyed staging the PGA Grand Slam of Golf, given those many factors, the timing is right to discontinue the event."
