KEY BISCAYNE, Fla. — Seth Pearman will not miss the persistent traffic that develops here for two weeks each spring.
Pearman, an assistant golf pro at Crandon Golf, a public course next to the Tennis Center at Crandon Park, which houses the Miami Open, has noticed a dip in golf rounds during the tournament as local residents and hotel guests either opt out of the mayhem or suddenly become tennis spectators.
“There may be a little bit of groaning about the traffic nightmare,” said Pearman, who has hosted the golf enthusiasts Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Jack Sock, among others, on his course over the last few years.
