Donald Trump blasts LPGA, suggests relocating Women's British Open

U.S. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump continues to respond to criticism of his remarks about immigration in America.

This time, it's directed at the LPGA, which was vocal regarding the hotel owner's comments. The LPGA said they would not relocate the site of the Ricoh Women's British Open, however, which is scheduled to be played at Trump Turnberry Resort.

Here's an excerpt from Trump's letter:

You have an absolutely binding contract to play the great Turnberry Ailsa course but, based on your rude comment to the press, please let this letter serve to represent that, subject to a conversation with me on the details, I would be willing to let you play the Women's British Open in two weeks, at another course rather than magnificent Turnberry (which I own). I think you have done an extraordinary disservice to women's golf, but in no way will that diminish my respect for the women on the LPGA tour or their great golfing talent.

And, of course, the businessman just had to chime in on the latest presidential poll results, to end the letter.

The 69-year-old just continues to make friends.

Here's the full letter:
