The PGA Tour is expected to announce shortly that the WGC-Mexico Championship will not be played in Mexico City this year. The Feb. 25-29 is likely to be relocated because Grupo Salinas, the sponsorship group in Mexico, was unwilling to stage the event locally without the ability to have spectators or hospitality due to the coronavirus pandemic. And that means the event's future as a WGC in Mexico City is uncertain.
The event that dates to 1999 when it was known as the WGC-American Express Championship was won by Patrick Reed last year at Chapultepec Golf Club and moved to Mexico City in 2017 after sponsorship issues caused a move from Trump Doral following the 2016 tournament.
