PGA Tour moves tourney from Trump course to Mexico

The PGA Tour announced yesterday it's moving the World Golf Championship to Mexico City from a Donald Trump-owned golf course in Miami.

PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem initially said the move was financial in nature and not political. He later changed his tune.

“Donald Trump is a brand — a big brand — and when you are asking a [sponsor] to invest millions of dollars in branding a tournament and they’re going to share that brand with a host ... it’s a difficult conversation. The politics may have contributed some since he’s been running," Finchem said.

Trump purchased the Doral Resort and Spa — which had held a tour event every year since 1962 — out of bankruptcy in 2012 and rebranded it Trump National Doral Miami.
