The 2017 PGA Championship will go ahead in North Carolina as planned, officials said Wednesday, despite mounting protests over a state law which limits anti-discrimination protection for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people. PGA of America chief executive Pete Bevacqua said there were no plans to move next year's major from Quail Hollow Country Club because of the controversial House Bill 2 (HB2), which was enacted in March. The law requires transgender people to use public restrooms corresponding to the sex listed on their birth certificates and omits gay and transgender people from discrimination protection.
