Bills safety Jordan Poyer just wanted to hold his charity golf event, but things got rocky once fans realized where he was holding that event.
The Jordan Poyer charity golf tournament was set to happen on July 10th, but now it has been canceled.
A tweet was sent out by his agent stating it was canceled over negative backlash over the location of the tournament. The tournament was going to raise money for non-profits in Western New York but was being held at The Blue Monster at Trump National In Doral, Florida.
In a lengthy Instagram video, Poyer stated that he decided to cancel the event after multiple golfers and sponsors withdrew.

“I regret to inform you that my annual Golf Charity Event in South Florida, originally scheduled for July 10th at the Blue Monster at Trump National in Doral, has been rescheduled for next year,” Poyer wrote on Instagram. “Unfortunately, the location of the event led to a few sponsors and golfers withdrawing at the last minute due to external pressures. While it’s disappointing, I respect their decision. Nevertheless, we will persevere. Next offseason, we will host this event with unwavering dedication, ensuring that it remains free from any external distractions.”
Jordan and officials with his charity golf tournament stated that the golf tournament will be back in 2024.
What is not known is where the event will be held.
The Jordan Poyer Foundation was established back in May of 2022 and its goal is to support those who struggle with mental health and substance abuse of any kind.
Poyer has been with the Bills since 2017. Despite all signs that he would end up leaving the franchise this offseason, he signed a two-year extension with Buffalo.
He was an All-Pro first-team selection in 2021 and a Pro Bowler in 2022. Last season, he had 63 tackles and four interceptions.
