Trump Loses Golf Tourney To Mexico – Rory Rocks

There is incredible irony in the PGA’s decision to move the World Golf Championship from the Trump-branded Doral course in Miami to Mexico City. The first irony is that the PGA could apparently not find a major sponsor to replace Cadillac whose sponsorship ended this year.  Surely, this is something a great dealmaker like Trump should have been able to resolve. The greater irony, of course, is that the event is moving to Mexico City with the sponsorship of Grupo Salinas. Of course, this gave Trump another opportunity to rail against the PGA for putting profits ahead of American workers, although it’s hard to imagine one golf tournament creates any jobs at all. All of this irony was not lost on current world #3 Rory McIlroy who had the quote of the day, saying, “It’s quite ironic that we are going to Mexico after being at Doral. We just jump over the wall.” Way to go Rory!
