Trump is going to be POTUS for the next four years will the hissy fit continue for that long?...I hope they lose their shirts in Mexico and I hope the game does not become a target of the cartels...but this is pure insanity IMHO
SCREW the PGA
I won’t buy from advertizers and will let the advertizers know WHY...THE power of the pocket book!
On Saturday and Sunday for several hours this tourney will be on NBC or one of other three letter networks whomever bought the rights. LET the advertizers know you think the PGA is headed by lame brain wussies and you don’t buy products from lame brain wussies...thank you very much!
Grow a set!

I wonder how much extra security they will have and how much it will cost? This will be a really dumb business decision, but the Left never cares about such things.

Another union like organization where the leadership is out of touch with its members.

Hope some of the major players boycott the tournament. Just refuse to put themselves “ at risk” in the banana republic south of the border.

Doral has been a failed tournament venue for many years. Trump spent quite a bit of money trying to revive it, but it was too late and since he could only control inside the boundaries of the property, he could not overcome the fundamental flaws.

The players don’t really like the course, but they like even less the surrounding area. Airports are not a great place for top level tournament golf. I don’t know why Cadillac pulled out, but the fact that the PGA couldn’t find a replacement sponsor hints that the issues go way beyond the fact that Trump jumped into the political ring.

I doubt that Mexico City will work, but the PGA does want to get into the Latin market. My guess is that the money will dry up for Mexico City and the WGC event will go elsewhere in Central America.

PGA Commissioner Tim Finchem worked for Democrat Jimmy Carter.

The Grupo Salinas deal is reportedly valued at $16 million a year, roughly double what Cadillac was willing to pay for Doral. Cadillac’s offer barely covered the prize purse.

PGA doing the art of the deal. Nothing new. Money talks for sponsorships. Cadillac didn’t think it was worth that much any more, poor ROI.
