"The people at Doral feel like they got caught in the middle"

Bob Harig examines the loss of Trump Doral from the tour schedule after 54 years and what it could mean for the Florida Swing now that Mexico City hosts the next seven years.

This from Joel Paige, former VP and managing director at Doral.

"The people at Doral feel like they got caught in the middle," said Joel Paige, a former vice president and managing director at Doral. "It wasn't the venue. It wasn't the community. It was the politics. The political thing was a lot more.

"Did both sides really work hard on trying to work it out? I don't know what the timing triggers were, but did the guys in Mexico have a take-it-or-leave-it offer, and the tour decided they had to take it?"

If there is a bitterness today in Miami, it is understandable.
