Bills Safety Jordan Poyer Cancels Charity Event at Trump Golf Course Due to Backlash

Avalon noted that the golf course where the event had been scheduled also hosted Tiger Woods when he won “The Doral Open 2 years in a row back in 2005 & 2006.”

“Unfortunately, we were sadly surprised by negative comments by some individuals to make this a political battle and continue to divide our community,” the statement added. “We condemn any type of violence and stand by Jordan as he continues to work to make a positive impact and be a role model for our community.”

Poyer acknowledged the cancelation in an Instagram video posted to his account wherein he lamented how golfers had withdrawn from the event, charging they let ego get in the way of “being a good human being.”

“They decided they didn’t want to take part in my tournament in which they took part in last year because of where it’s at, at Trump National Doral in South Florida,” Poyer said. “ECMC decided they can no longer take the pressure from up top, from the people above them, and it probably has nothing to do with ECMC at all. I’m really thankful and blessed to have worked with the people that I have worked with at ECMC in the past two years.”
