I received this in my email today. Apparently, the PGA is pulling their tournament from The Blue Monster, Trump Doral and hosting the event in Mexico City, Mexico! Where? Lol.
Say what you want PGA, but we hear ya' loud and clear.

Yet for the first time in more than a half-century, there won't be a Tour event staged in March on the Blue Monster. After a 10-year run as a World Golf Championships venue, and a tournament history that dates to 1962, the event was shipped off to Mexico City, where it will be played this week as the Mexico Championship at Chapultepec Golf Club.

I wonder if the signature hole has a giant wall in front of the green.

Lol. Probably not. The most famous golf wall is 17 at St. Andrews. So we'll have to wait for probably 2021 for that one. :D
For sure all the groundskeepers are ex-pat Americans.

It's only because they'll do the job cheaper and better than the local nationals. They're basically single-handedly creating a welfare state for the Mexican citizens living in and around Mexico City.
I'm pretty sure I read in the news that Mexico was paying us to build a wall to keep those dastardly ex-pats out of their country.
PGA is no different than the NFL.
Tradition is great unless it costs money.
