"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."
Will the losers get their hearts cut out while they are held down on the 18th green?.........................
Who’s going to be the title sponsor in 2017 as 2016 was the last year for Cadillac.
Title sponsor maybe one reason for the change of venue.
I hope to heck the golfers boycott...
Kidnapping insurance needs to be added to the travel list.
During the telecast of the last tournament, the overtones were not promising. While the TV personalities would not say anything negative, you could tell that something was wrong. I suspect that they wanted to announce the new sponsor at the end of the tournament, but they had no new sponsor and everyone knew it except for the viewer. The grousing about Doral has been going on for years, even with the Trump makeover. The commish works for the players and I don’t think they want to keep coming back to Doral.
Mexico City doesn’t sound like a step up, but perhaps that’s the best deal they could come up with. They certainly want to open up the Latin market, but I would think that there are better places than one of the biggest ghettos in the world. Perhaps, Baghdad, open fairways, lots of bunkers courtesy of B-52s and no one will try to play out of the hazards, thereby speeding up play.

Mexico City?
Com’on.
Mecca or NOTHING, baby.
Wait until there are rapes, murders, and kidnappings of players,staff, Press, and family members. It won’t be there again.
Just more anti-American scum being outed thanks to Trump. May the PGA reap what they sowed!!!
Watch this be an epic fail.
Same PGA that knew of Tiger’s Woods running around but kept quite because of the ratings (i.e. money)
I won’t attend another event until Trump is President, then I’ll go proudly wearing my “Make America Great Again” Golf cap.
Ridiculous.
What do you want to bet El Chappo will be the first to tee off - along with Vincente Fox?
We’ve become a nation of petulant morons.
Hit 'em all in the pocketbook...and start NOW!
We are ROLLING THUNDER if we want to be!

Trump: eliminating the PGA Tour event would actually make good business sense for his property.
“I would make much more money at Doral if I didn’t have a tournament,” he said. “(March) is the prime month in Florida, you can’t get a room and I have the best rooms in Miami. I love the tournament, it’s been here 50 years. With all of that said, I would make much more money.”

What gets me, is most on the tour are died in the wool Republicans. Maybe, just maybe, they'll put up a stink and boycott the event!
Wonder how the PGA asshats feel now that there will be a President Trump in office when they play in Mexico?
