You can use regexp_replace for that

select regexp_replace(the_column, '\s*\([0-9]+\)', '')
from the_table;

The regex matches for any string that starts with a ( is followed by at least one number and then is followed by a ). The \s* is there to also remove the (white)space before the (

If the text between the parentheses can contain other characters (which your sample data doesn't) then you can extend the [0-9] part to include additional characters, e.g. [0-9-] to also include a dash.
