quote:

The Tour signed an agreement with the resort in 2013 to keep the tournament at Doral through 2023, but that contract included a provision allowing the Tour to move elsewhere if they were unable to find a title sponsor. Cadillac did not renew its sponsorship when it ended this year.


i'm guessing they couldn't find a sponsor because of the course being attached to trump's name. everyone's gotta be pc nowadays.

it's a double frick you to trump by moving it to mexico

doral is an awesome course. would be silly to not have a tournament there on the tour.


quote:

“I just heard that the PGA Tour is taking their tournament out of Miami and moving it to Mexico, as an example,” Trump said. “They’re moving it to Mexico City which, by the way, I hope they have kidnapping insurance. But they’re moving it to Mexico City.”

Lawsuit for what? Cadillac does not have to sponsor his tournament, the PGA can deny whichever sponsorship they want.

Trump said a few months ago he would remember comments and things done during the process. Not a Quote.

These people need to stop messing with Trump

Not a Trump fan, but he's not wrong about the kidnapping insurance.

How many of the golfers will not want to play in MC? I'd say there will be more than one...

the field might not be completely shitty, but there will undoubtedly be players who won't go play there.

plus, are they going to play it at a different time of the year? as of now, that event is sandwiched right in the middle of the florida swing. they might have to switch around the honda classic and the wgc event.

if they don't, they'll for sure lose out on some guys.

Pissing off the man that will be the most powerful person in the free world this time next year is not a good move. The PGA better prepare thy anus for IRS audits.

The "Trump Steaks WGC from Doral" has a nice ring to it.

Trump should hold his own invitational at Doral on the same date


Make it a nice big purse and see how the players react

I think that maybe this is a problem with Cadillac and also that it is really convenient for the Tour to distance itself from Trump.

I don't understand why we have to distance ourselves so much from someone's politics. You don't have to agree with Trump, but do we really have to be so vitriolic? The answer is yes because this is politics, but still...it's childish.
