I think he is correct. I am not sure what the ratings were for the Open, but three things made me watch soccer instead, even though I much prefer golf:
1. The course. It did nothing for me, even without it looking like the old City Park South. Add in the terrible looking conditions, I had no reason to watch to enjoy the course. Think Masters, Pebble, etc..
2. NBC's coverage. Glad NBC is done covering the U.S. Open.
3. The blowout and Kaymer being the one winning by a wide margin.

It's just "different". The re-design was two part:
1. To showcase the USGA's focus on sustainability and water-conservation.
2. To restore the course to its original landscape.
I get both sides of it...but Trump is just using this as a platform to pimp his courses. One of which hosts a WGC event and was insanely penal.
Doral isn't hosting a US Open, though. So he can get over it.
