THE TRUMP NATIONAL DORAL GOLF CLUB, Fla. — President Donald Trump is here today, with fans hoping he’ll award the trophy at the PGA Tour’s Cadillac Championship. But the president has already won.
For a decade, the PGA Tour shunned Trump’s courses as his first presidential run unnerved sponsors. The PGA Tour even pulled one long-running event from Doral and moved it to Mexico City, after the tour and other corporations had publicly chastised Trump for his tirades about Mexicans. The moves bruised the president, who forged an alliance with the PGA Tour’s upstart rival, the Saudi Arabia-backed LIV Golf, and urged top players to defect, too.
