I don't see it -- might you provide a link?
Michael Morandi:
Here’s a link. In this he denies that he talked to Trump about hosting tour events but is pretty public about it being on the table. Should have kept it quiet.

Exact same language from the article I saw (same interview):
"We've played at Trump venues in the past," said Monahan. "While we haven't talked about that with the president, I certainly see a day where we're adding Trump venues to our schedule, certainly."
You said: "Monahan told Trump that he’s open to Trump courses hosting tour events..."
That just didn't happen.
------------------
Doral was a fantastic PGA Tour host/stop for 45 years and produced a magnificent roster of winners including: Casper, Sanders, Nicklaus, Trevino, Rodgers, Bean, Weiskopf, Floyd, Kite, Wadkins, Crenshaw, Norman, Faldo, Elkington, Els, Hoch, Woods...
...with a stellar track record like Doral has why wouldn't the PGA Tour want to go back?
Monahan was a fool to leave Doral in the first place, going back is exactly what he should do.
Michael Morandi:
There are a numbers of ways to communicate[size=78%]. One is through surrogates, another is directly and yet another is through the media. At a minimum, Monahan chose the media to say he’d entertain Trump venues. I can’t say whether he told Trump directly but it wouldn’t surprise me if he didn’t given the stakes and the Art of the deal principal involved. [/size]
