Trump statement:

"It's a sad day for Miami, the United States and the game of golf, to have the PGA Tour consider moving the World Golf Championships, which has been hosted in Miami for the last 55 years, to Mexico. 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 hundreds 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."

Is there no pre-existing contract for the event?

It would be ‘funny’ if a PGA official went to Mexcio City and got themselves kidnapped, or maybe jailed while trying to ‘sink a putter’ in the wrong place.

Yea, I’d really love to fly to Mexico City to play in a golf tournament.
Flew into Mexico City once...never again.

That is precisely the way to respond to totally absurd PGA behavior, Mr. President.

Well here's another boycott....this is all we can do as Americans...we have seen what it has done to Target and other places, this seems to be the only way to get people to understand that if you don't get your own way, you move to another country...

Let's find out who the sponsors are of this group, call or email them and let them know the whys and wherefores and go from there..

We have an army of Trump Supporters, and we have brought him this far, we can do this for Trump, after all he's doing for us, this is not much, but it will help to let him know Americans are not going to put up with this crap any longer...

Lets Roll People!!!

What would the PGA do if the Trump Organization sponsored the tournament?

That would get a replacement for Cadillac as sponsor because their contract expired after this year’s tournament.

It would also keep the event in Miami, and not make it move to Mexico.

BTW, the PGA announces the move to Mexico, but who is the new sponsor?

All professional sports has been corrupted by the federal government, and Tim Finchem, the tour player’s commissioner used to work for Jimmy Carter.

Yes, the pros have hated Miami for years (not Doral specifically) but Mexico City is far worse.

So the PGA Tour is lefty.

I’m happy for them.

Always thought golf was a sissy sport.

PGA has seen decreasing revenues since Tiger Woods has not been able to compete. Now, it will only get worse.
