Finchem: WGC move about money, not politics
Hours after news broke that the PGA Tour would be moving a World Golf Championship event from Trump National Doral in Miami to Mexico City, commissioner Tim Finchem reiterated that the Tour's decision was based on sponsorship dollars - not politics.
Speaking to media at the Memorial Tournament, Finchem confirmed that the former WGC-Cadillac Championship will be played next year in Mexico, the first year of what Finchem described as a seven-year agreement. He indicated that Donald Trump, presidential candidate and owner of Trump National Doral, was "disappointed" when informed of the decision Tuesday night in a meeting in New York.
