Fantastic Businessman Trump Loses 55 Year Golf Event To Mexico

[Remodeling Maidiac]

If he can't "close that deal' why should we expect him to be able to close deals win Washington?

He won't. He will deal with a gridlocked congress just like presidents before him. Hopefully he wouldn't act like Obama and rule by decree.

Golden Rule: "He who has the gold, rules." in this case the PGA had all the power and money. Donnie lost, poor Donnie.

so now you are admitting that the PGA decided on their own to take money. According to you the PGA 'won' and 'Donnie lost', which doesn't sound like 'Donnie' had any real influence over the PGA's decision. MONEY was the deciding factor, not Trump.

I'm not saying any such thing and neither is the PGA. The fact is Donnie has no influence over the PGA, he could have gotten a sponsor and put the whole issue to bed, but he didn't and couldn't. The PGA hasn't commented on why they pulled the tour out of Doral, it's just a guess.

Thank you for that admission that this whole thread, the opening accusation that Trump 'lost' the Gold event to Mexico is BS....er, a 'guess'.

In the end, it's not like he did what Obama / Congress / politicians did, enable companies to take jobs out of the US to other countries to reap the benefits of a cheaper slave work force.

Full disclosure, I don't watch Golf. It has to be the most boring sport to watch ever created.
And why the **** do the announcers, who are hundreds of yards away, whisper?

Well, at least he finally admitted he's totally full-of-shit.

I didn't know Trump was working for the PGA and it was his job to keep the event in the US. Does he know that?

Exactly how would he have convinced the PGA NOT to make their own personal decision to take all those 'Pesos' to move the event?!

Trump owns a golf course that had an event on the PGA tour, they notified him that Cadillac pulled sponsorship for the event and the City of Miami, or Donald Trump himself, could have found a sponsor to replace Cadillac. They either couldn't or didn't, so the tour moved south.

I can't speculate beyond that because the PGA isn't offering details. The fact that Donnie, the world's greatest businessman, mover, shaker, the guy who hires all the best people, who makes yuuuge decisions every single day, couldn't save Doral, the City of Miami, and the thousands of people who depended on the event for subsistence, couldn't do a thing to make this business decision a success. It is a prime example of bluster and noise making and not much else. This is what you get for a president, someone who can't even turn an event that hurts him into a positive outcome.

Trump owned/owns a golf course where a PGA event was held? Holy Cr@p! Why didn't you say so - that basically makes him part owner of the PGA franchise and makes him legally obligated to go out and fund sponsors for them.

As you said, the PGA migrated to where the money was.

Trump didn't take care of business pertinent to his golf course. He lost an event that brought in millions, and it remains a good example of his business experience. When do you suppose Doral will go bankrupt? After the election or before?

The PGA announced they are moving their tour event held at Miami's famed Trump National Doral course for the last 55 years to Mexico City. In 2013, the PGA announced a ten year extension to the Trump National Doral to be held through 2023, but when Cadillac, the sponsor did not renew sponsorship of the event, it was dropped.

Trump National Doral was unable to find a sponsor and criticized the move when Donald Trump said "he hopes they have good kidnapping insurance." Tour moves event from Trump Doral to Mexico

So "fantastic businessman" Trump can't even negotiate a sponsor for an event at his golf course .. but he's ready to take on the world. :0)

This is why Putin loves him.

When a serious event happens within your business you figure the world's greatest businessman is going to fix it right away. Well that didn't happen and it remains an example of what his presidency will be like.

If they want to move to Mexico, then let all those rich Mexican golfers go to the event.

World Golf Championships-Mexico Championship debuts in 2017
First, why is Trump blamed for 55 year loss when it has only been in Miami since 2007? And second, do you know how many courses exist in Florida, and how many are PGA courses without Trumps name atttached?
In Mexico City, a body hanging from a bridge portends a shift in violence
what do you bet attendance will be wayyyyy down?

The pga realizes their costs will be much lower and the profits much higher in Mexico City.
This is false diatribe against Trump.
From PGA-

“Since the debut of the World Golf Championships in 1999, the intent has always been to conduct these tournaments around the world,” said PGA TOUR Commissioner Tim Finchem. “Once it became apparent that we would not be able to secure sponsorship at levels that would sustain the event and help it grow at Trump National Doral, we began having serious discussions with Ricardo and Benjamin Salinas, who expressed strong interest in bringing a tournament to Mexico City to benefit golf and its development throughout Mexico. We are very excited about this new opportunity and what it brings to the World Golf Championships.”

The PGA Doral tour event has been at Miami since 1962. It is the Signature golf event in South Florida since then. Further the PGA signed a ten year extension in 2023, the loss is his since the course belongs to him alone.

 

[Siete]

its now in Mexico City .. the PGA is catering to Mexican golf fans there not American fans here. Turn on your TV and watch or don't turn on your TV. Golf fans in Mexico can go see the tournament LIVE or turn on THEIR TV and watch... PGA Golf holds other tournaments in Mexico with big success. Nobody gets killed, raped, or kidnapped.

see how that works idiot RW's?

Oh really?

PGA Tour commissioner Timothy Finchem said Mr Trump's current profile had made it "difficult" to attract sponsors.

"It's fundamentally a sponsorship issue," said Mr Finchem.

Luxury car maker Cadillac has reportedly not renewed its sponsorship deal.

Mr Trump said the decision marked a "sad day for Miami, the US and the game of golf".

"This decision only further embodies the very reason I am running for president of the United States," he said.

Not quite as benign as you seem to want to make it appear.

If Trump sponsored the Tourney himself, he'd be responsible for paying the purses of the golfers.

Quote– The PGA TOUR, on behalf of the International Federation of PGA Tours, announced Wednesday that the World Golf Championships tournament held in Miami since 2007 will relocate to Mexico City and be renamed the World Golf Championships-Mexico Championship, beginning in 2017.
....
So, you are telling us that the PGA is lying, regarding their World Championship golf tournament only being in Miami since 2007?
It is you with the confusion here. Yes, the PGA has held different tournament
series in Florida for many years, and will continue to do so, but NOT their World Championship tournament for the next 10 years. You are trying to connect him to a false dichotomy.

The PGA Doral tour event and the World Golf Championship are separate events. Neither of which will be in Miami in the future. Here is the word from the horse's mouth, maybe you can get him to explain.

'It is 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,' Trump said.
Doral has hosted a PGA Tour event every year since 1962.
