Golf-PGA Tour says adios to Miami, moves event to Mexico City (Reuters)

June 1 (Reuters) - The PGA Tour's long-established event in Miami will move to Mexico City next year, a switch widely reported on Wednesday that has angered Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.

According to multiple sources, the elite World Golf Championships event formerly known as the WGC-Cadillac Championship will no longer be staged at Trump's Doral course after the tour was unable to find a new title sponsor.

The PGA Tour had a contract with Doral through to 2023, but Cadillac ended its backing this year and no replacement could be found.

Butch Buchholz, who was brought in last year as the tournament chairman at Doral, told the Miami Herald on Wednesday he had been informed by the PGA Tour on Tuesday that the event would move to Mexico next year.
