For the first time since 1962 – before Jack Nicklaus had won any of his 18 majors – the PGA Tour will not have a tournament at Doral this year. Doral had hosted a World Golf Championship event the last nine years until Cadillac did not renew as title sponsor and the tour couldn't find another that wanted to be at what is now Trump Doral. It found a sponsor in Grupo Salinas, giving birth to the Mexico Championship.

Adam Scott is the defending champion in a country where he has never played.

"It's nice to go back to the course that you played really well on, but it's just another week, and we're all learning the course, kind of starting on an even playing field," Scott said. "If we were all at Doral, we would all know the course."

This is nothing new to Scott. He won the Australian Open at New South Wales and played the next year at The Lakes. He won The Barclays at Liberty National in 2013 and his title defense was at Ridgewood.

That won't be an issue next year. Grupo Salinas has signed up for six more years, and Chapultepec Golf Club is reputed to be the best in a very large town.
