Buffalo Bills player charity golf tournament back on following Trump golf course backlash
MIAMI (FLV) – Buffalo Bills player Jordan Poyer said his charity golf tournament scheduled at former president Donald Trump’s Doral golf course outside Miami is back on, according to reports.
Poyer previously canceled his tournament on July 10 and said “numerous teams up north” pulled out “because of the presidential contender’s politics.”
The New York Post reported the company PublicSq stepped up as the sponsor.
PublicSq is “connects freedom-loving Americans to businesses and community that share their values,” according to their website.
PublicSq CEO Michael Seifert tweeted the company is “proud to be the new sponsors of the tournament and that it will be going on as scheduled.”
“Well, at @officialpsq, we care about raising money for charity and we’re also not a bunch of babies,” Seifert said.

On Saturday, Poyer said there have been a “numerous amount of teams up north that have pulled out of the tournament,” and “wrote emails” to a big sponsor.
“And that company now, it’s unfortunate that they have pulled out and decided that they don’t want to take part in my tournament, in which they took part in last year, because of where it’s at, Trump National in Doral,” Poyer previously said.
Poyer reportedly said the sponsor was the Erie County Medical Center. The hospital told Buffalo News that it was a “beneficiary of the event but not a sponsor.”
