Everyone at President Trump's National Doral Golf Club in Florida will remain fully clothed this weekend, as a strip-club-sponsored golf tournament has been canceled.

A spokeswoman for the Trump Organization said the event, sponsored by the Shadow Cabaret, was called off after the nonprofit it was supposed to benefit, Miami Allstars Foundation, pulled out. "The event was originally booked with the understanding that it would be raising money to support a local charity benefiting underprivileged children," she said. "Now that the charity has removed its affiliation, the event will no longer be taking place at our property and all amounts paid will be refunded."
