Tournaments change sponsors all the time and don't relocate. In fact, very few of today's tournaments have the same sponsor name from even 4-5 yrs ago. That Cadillac is done would have produced an opportunity to snag a new deal at a higher profit.
This clearly is because of Trump's Archie Bunker/George Wallace racist beliefs, imo.....and it appears from the statement from Tim Finchem, that's what he was thinking as well.
Clearly. Because enforcing our country's laws, and enacting a means to enforce them, is soooooo racist.
I mean, it's not like Mexico has a wall at their southern tip to keep out......oh, wait. Never mind.
The PGA's move only highlights Trump argument that "free trade" hurts interests in the USA (you are making this argument) Good for his campaign of stopping it.
I'm not seeing the egg except for the ones being cooked up and served at this resort.
Trump makes more money with the PGA gone? What a self-centered statement for him to make and for his fans to swallow. It shows he doesn't care about the local economy one little bit and if it was actually true, why did his course even sign 10 year contract with the PGA in the first place?
Free Trade? That a joke. It's right in the title of the tour: The PGA WORLD Tour, not the PGA USA Tour. They have a right to take where ever they want and they took it to Mexico.
I merely think that Trump has failed to consider the impact on the community when he knew Cadillac was pulling out, and that a new sponsor needed to be found. As far as he was concerned, the tournament was profit-neutral, so if they found a new sponsor, that was okay, and if not, that was okay, too. The fact that the tournament was a huge boon to the local economy wasn't a consideration to Trump.
Word smithing doesn't change it. Case closed yet again.

Well, you said it's not always about the money yet now Donny's excuse for not caring about losing the event is he makes more $$$ without it. So, WHY is the $$$ apparently important now when it wasn't in the past?
