Golf tournament leaving Trump’s Doral course for Mexico
The annual event, in Doral since 1962, is moving to Mexico City
The PGA gave Doral no indication if it will ever return to South Florida
This comes six months after the PGA said it reevaluate the future of the tournament because of Trump’s controversial comments about Mexicans and Muslim

I have reevaluated my watching the PGA. I am sure going to Mexico will thrill all people in the US who watch it.
Of course, now Trump will be able to use the PGA as an example of that “sucking sound” from Mexico. Brilliant move PGA!
“This comes six months after the PGA said it reevaluate the future of the tournament because of Trump’s controversial comments about Mexicans and Muslim”
Total BS! They are looking for cheap venue
The PGA has gone PC like the NFL. Too bad that.
IMO, a golf course is a waste of a perfectly good quail-hunting field.
I hope they drink the water...
“It is a sad day for Miami, the United States and the game of golf,” Trump said in a statement on Wednesday. “No different than Nabisco, Carrier and so many other American companies, the PGA tour has put profit ahead of thousands of American jobs, millions of dollars in revenue for local communities and charities and the enjoyment of thousands of fans who make the tournament an annual tradition. This decision only further embodies the very reason I am running for President of the United States.”
During a Tuesday interview with Fox News, the Republican presidential hopeful seemed very irritated by the PGA’s decision to cut ties. “They’re moving it to Mexico City which, by the way, I hope they have kidnapping insurance,” he said.”
This was already Posted and Trump already issued a Statement.
PGA folks need to go to today’s Breitbart!
They have up close and personal photos of decapitated heads and a dead couple shot up in their car....
Yeah, Mexico is the place to go
Maybe Trump should start his own professional golf series.
Actually, they should have just moved it to another PGA Golf Course in Florida. There are quite a few there.
HELLO ZIKA!!!!!
The players own the PGA Tour and they don’t like Doral. This was their chance to bail. Mexico City sounds like a crazy choice, but the money must have been right. I suspect that they will be in a different venue in a few years.
Here’s hoping the PGA officials enjoy the Zika mosquito bites while in that hole.
Stupidity truly knows no limits!!! PATHETIC
A thread from earlier with some 100+ comments if anyone cares to scan them.

Keep in mind that Cadillac was the title sponsor and wasn’t going to renew after this year.
Secondly this is a limited field event with only 70 selected invitees instead of the normal
144 players.. This has been developing for sometime now.
