Unfortunately, the location of the event led to a few sponsors and golfers withdrawing at the last minute due to external pressures. While it\u2019s disappointing, I respect their decision.

I extend my heartfelt gratitude to all of \u00a0you. Here are my sincere thoughts.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>People demanded that Buffalo hospital ECMC cancel the event in letters, according to Poyer. Poyer claimed that ECMC was one of the tournament&#8217;s major sponsors, but the hospital insists that it was just intended to be a recipient of the proceeds. In a statement, ECMC acknowledged that it was &#8220;fortunate to be a beneficiary of Jordan Poyer&#8217;s golf tournament&#8221; but did not explicitly admit to withdrawing.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Seriously Jordan Poyer you were surprised at the backlash?
