67-662: Trump National Doral Miami is a golf resort in Doral in South Florida in the United States. It was founded by real estate pioneer Alfred Kaskel in 1962, with the name "Doral" coming from an amalgamation of the first names of Kaskel and his wife, Doris. It currently has 72 holes of golf and its signature course is the Blue Monster at Doral. The resort consists of 800 acres (3.2 km). Prior to its renovation,

134-533: A real estate investment trust affiliated with CNL Financial Group . CNL placed the resort under the management of Marriott International later that year. In 2007, CNL Hotels was acquired by the real estate arm of Morgan Stanley . Around 2010, the Pritikin Longevity Center moved into the spa area of the Doral resort. In 2011, a group of creditors led by Paulson & Co. took control of

201-506: A 65% increase in year-on-year infestations across the country, according to Rentokil . In November 2023, it was reported that South Korea was experiencing a bed bug infestation. Bed bugs are an increasing cause for litigation. Courts have, in some cases, exacted large punitive damage judgments on some hotels. Many of New York City's Upper East Side homeowners have been afflicted, but they tend to remain publicly silent in order not to ruin their property values and be seen as suffering

268-697: A 71% increase in bed bug calls between 2000 and 2005. The number of reported incidents in New York City alone rose from 500 in 2004 to 10,000 in 2009. In 2013 Chicago was listed as the US city with most bedbug infestation. In response the Chicago City Council passed a bed bug control ordinance to limit spread. Additionally, bed bugs are reaching places in which they never established before, such as southern South America. The rise in infestations has been hard to track because bed bug infestation

335-582: A New York-based real estate firm headed by Alfred Kaskel . The club opened in January 1962. The resort was the sister hotel to the famous Doral Hotel on the ocean in Miami Beach, Florida . In 1994, Carol Management sold a majority stake in the resort to KSL Recreation, a Kohlberg Kravis Roberts affiliate focused on premier golf facilities, for approximately $ 100 million. KSL was then purchased in 2004 by CNL Hospitality (later CNL Hotels & Resorts),

402-417: A characteristic disagreeable odor when crushed. Bed bugs are obligatory bloodsuckers . They have mouth parts that saw through the skin and inject saliva with anticoagulants and painkillers. Sensitivity of humans varies from extreme allergic reaction to no reaction at all (about 20%). The bite usually produces a swelling with no red spot, but when many bugs feed on a small area, reddish spots may appear after

469-603: A commercial steamer. Bed bugs and their eggs will die on contact when exposed to surface temperatures above 180 °F (82 °C) and a steamer can reach well above 230 °F (110 °C). A study found 100% mortality rates for bed bugs exposed to temperatures greater than 50 °C (122 °F) for more than 2 minutes. The study recommended maintaining temperatures of above 48 °C (118 °F) for more than 20 min to effectively kill all life stages of bed bugs, and because in practice treatment times of 6 to 8 hours are used to account for cracks and indoor clutter. This method

536-504: A disposable bag which is then sealed into a plastic bag to prevent re-infestation. Other methods include removing textile materials from an area and washing them in hot water (at least 60 degrees Celsius) or freezing them at −20 °C (−4 °F). Most consumer-grade freezers are inadequate to kill bedbugs because they cannot create sufficiently low temperatures. Unremovable textiles such as mattresses can be steamed to at least 60 °C (140 °F) and this method can penetrate deep into

603-562: A dwelling, such as bats, birds, or rodents . They can also survive by feeding on domestic cats and dogs, though humans are the preferred host of C. lectularius . A severe bedbug infestation can be detected by their characteristic pungent sweet smell, which has been described as like rotting raspberries . Bed bug detection dogs are trained to pinpoint infestations, with a possible accuracy rate between 11% and 83%. Homemade detectors have been developed. Bedbug detectors, often referred to as "monitors", "traps" or "interceptors", use

670-478: A factor in their spread. Knowing that symptoms are caused by bedbug bites rather than other causes requires seeking and finding the insect in the sleeping environment, as symptoms are not specific to bedbug bites. Bites by other arthropods cause similar symptoms, even the linear pattern of bites known colloquially as "breakfast, lunch and dinner bites". Bed bugs can occur singly, but tend to congregate once established. Although strictly parasitic, they spend only

737-552: A final sexually mature adult stage. Bed bugs need at least one blood meal in order to advance to the next stage of development. They shed their skins through ecdysis at each stage, discarding their outer exoskeleton. Newly hatched nymphs are translucent, lighter in color, and become browner as they moult and reach maturity . Bed bugs may be mistaken for other insects, such as booklice , small cockroaches , or carpet beetles ; however, when warm and active, their movements are more ant-like, and like most other true bugs , they emit

804-421: A mate. Airborne pheromones are responsible for aggregations. Infestation is rarely caused by a lack of hygiene . Transfer to new places is usually in the personal items of the human they feed upon. Dwellings can become infested with bed bugs in a variety of ways, such as: Though bed bugs will opportunistically feed on pets, they do not live or travel on the skin of their hosts, and pets are not believed to be

871-429: A month. Close all wall openings or gaps; bed bugs tend to hide in dark places such as cracks in walls. Second-hand furnishings may harbour bedbugs. Avoiding repeated bites can be difficult since it usually requires eradicating bed bugs from a home or workplace; eradication is most effective using non-chemical control methods. Non-chemical control methods include vacuuming carpet and furniture (often with scraping) into

938-691: A number of health impacts, including skin rashes , psychological effects, and allergic symptoms. Bed bug bites may lead to skin changes ranging from small areas of redness to prominent blisters . Symptoms may take between minutes to days to appear and itchiness is generally present. Some individuals may feel tired or have a fever . Typically, uncovered areas of the body are affected. Their bites are not known to transmit any infectious disease . Complications may rarely include areas of dead skin or vasculitis . Bed bug bites are caused primarily by two species of insects: Cimex lectularius (the common bed bug) and Cimex hemipterus , found primarily in

1005-552: A report from the National Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health Safety (ANSES). In the middle of 2023, reports emerged of a bed bug infestation spread in the capital city of Paris , when it was first seen in cinemas, then it expanded to homes, trains, schools and even hospitals. Treatment of this outbreak has cost France an estimated €230m annually. In the meantime, the United Kingdom witnessed

1072-1178: A serious problem at US military bases during World War II . Initially, the problem was solved by fumigation, using Zyklon Discoids that released hydrogen cyanide gas, a rather dangerous procedure. Later, DDT was used to good effect, though bedbugs have since become largely resistant to it. The decline of bed bug populations in the 20th century is often credited to potent pesticides that had not previously been widely available. Other contributing factors that are less frequently mentioned in news reports are increased public awareness and slum clearance programs that combined pesticide use with steam disinfection, relocation of slum dwellers to new housing, and in some cases also follow-up inspections for several months after relocated tenants moved into their new housing. In 2010, bed bug infestations were reported in New York houses, retail stores, cinemas, offices and schools, especially in Brooklyn and Queens . In early 2023, Orkin reported that Chicago , New York, Philadelphia , Cleveland and Los Angeles were

1139-934: A species of North America, primarily infests poultry. Cimicidae , the ancestor of modern bed bugs, first emerged approximately 115 million years ago, more than 55 million years before bats—their previously presumed initial host—first appeared. From unknown ancestral hosts, a variety of different lineages evolved which specialized in either bats or birds. The common ( C. lectularius ) and tropical bed bug ( C. hemipterus ) split 40 million years before Homo evolution . Humans became hosts to bed bugs through host specialist extension (rather than switching) on three separate occasions. Bed bugs were first mentioned in ancient Greece as early as 400 BC, and later by Aristotle . Pliny's Natural History , first published circa AD 77 in Rome, claimed bed bugs had medicinal value in treating ailments such as snake bites and ear infections. Belief in

1206-407: A tiny amount of blood , chronic or severe infestation may lead to anemia . Scratching bites may lead to bacterial skin infection. Systemic poisoning may occur if the bites are numerous. The bite itself may be painful thus resulting in poor sleep and worse work performance. Bed bugs can feed on warm-blooded animals other than humans, such as pets. The signs left by the bites are the same as in

1273-444: A tiny fraction of their lives physically attached to hosts. Once a bed bug finishes feeding, it follows a chemical trail to return to a nearby harborage, commonly in or near beds or couches, where they live in clusters of adults, juveniles, and eggs. These places may include luggage, vehicle interiors, furniture, bedside clutter—even inside electrical sockets or laptop computers. Bed bugs may also lodge near animals that have nested within

1340-559: A variety of settings from major cities to remote locations. Since the 1800s, the traditional concept full-service conference and resort hotels have been based upon a venue which is typically remote and has a natural feature as its attraction. For example, the Kviknes Hotel in Norway is a difficult to reach remote location which provides visitors access to the scenic fjord at Balestrand or The Brando Resort on Tetiaroa which

1407-409: A wall. Treatment is directed towards the symptoms . Eliminating bed bugs from the home is often difficult, partly because bed bugs can survive up to approximately 300 days without feeding. Repeated treatments of a home may be required. These treatments may include heating the room to 50 °C (122 °F) for more than 90 minutes, frequent vacuuming , washing clothing at high temperatures, and

1474-430: Is about 2–5 mm (0.08–0.2 in) but may be as large as 2 cm (0.8 in) in diameter and there may or may not be a central spot (punctum). Bites are usually present on areas of exposed skin, especially exposed areas not covered by sheets or blankets, such as arms, legs, feet, face or neck. Individual responses to bites vary, ranging from no visible effect (in about 20–70%), to small flat (macular) spots, to

1541-517: Is expensive and has caused fires. Starving bedbugs is not effective, as they can survive without eating for 135 to 300 days, depending on temperature. After the withdrawal of most organochlorine insecticides , it was stated in 2012 that no truly effective insecticides were available. Insecticides that have historically been found effective include pyrethroids , dichlorvos , and malathion . Resistance to pesticides has increased significantly in recent decades. The carbamate insecticide propoxur

1608-454: Is found in temperate climates throughout the world. Other species include C. hemipterus , found in tropical regions , which also infests poultry (including Gallus ) and bats, and Leptocimex boueti , a relative of C. lectularius adapted for the tropics of West Africa and South America, which infests bats and humans. C. pilosellus and C. pipistrella primarily infest bats, while Haematosiphon inodora ,

1675-498: Is highly toxic to bed bugs, but it has potential toxicity to children exposed to it, and the US Environmental Protection Agency has been reluctant to approve it for indoor use. Boric acid , sometimes applied as a safe indoor insecticide against pests such as cockroaches and termites , is not effective against bed bugs because they do not groom. Bed bugs are found everywhere in the world. Before

1742-486: Is not an easily identifiable problem, and also people do not talk about it. Most reports have been collected from pest-control companies, local authorities, and hotel chains, and the problem may be more severe than is currently believed from reports. The common bed bug ( Cimex lectularius ) is the species best adapted to human environments but is also known from birds , Chiroptera , Gallus (chickens and relatives), Myotis myotis , and sheep ( Ovis aries ). It

1809-886: Is now the home of the Rick Smith Golf Performance Center. Trump National Doral Miami was featured in Golf magazine's Top 100 resorts in 2019, celebrating the best places in golf to stay and play. Trump National Doral Miami hosted the final event in 2022 of the LIV Golf Invitational Series . 25°49′10″N 80°20′34″W  /  25.81944°N 80.34278°W  / 25.81944; -80.34278 Golf resort These hotels as destinations may be characterized by distinctive architecture, upscale lodgings, ballrooms, large conference facilities, restaurants, and recreation activities such as golf or skiing. They may be located in

1876-492: Is only accessible by a private plane from Tahiti . Historically there were certain built-in amenities such as gourmet cuisine , music recitals , and shoreline trails ; however, the amenities of modern (post-1980) destination hotels dwarf the scale of these earlier models. Many of the Las Vegas and Caribbean resort hotels have complete shopping malls , conference centers and large entertainment halls on site; thus,

1943-419: Is possible that exposure to bed bugs may trigger an asthma attack via the effects of airborne allergens, although evidence of this association is limited. Serious infestations and chronic attacks can cause anxiety, stress, and sleep difficulties . Development of refractory delusional parasitosis is possible, as a person develops an overwhelming obsession with bed bugs. Bed bug infestations are primarily

2010-704: The Las Vegas Strip are most typically thought of as mega-resorts owing to their immense size and complexity. Kirk Kerkorian is credited for building the first mega-resort in 1969 earning him the nickname "father of the mega-resort". Two projects in Las Vegas in 1969 and 1973 by architect Martin Stern, Jr. and entrepreneur Kirk Kerkorian , the International Hotel and the MGM Grand, set

2077-602: The Walt Disney Parks and Resorts feature multiple hotels, multiple theme parks, a shopping complex , and other features. Other mega-resorts exist with no specific centerpiece, having many features that are considered prominent, such as Atlantis Paradise Island and its upcoming sister park in Dubai .

2144-476: The lactic acid or carbon dioxide associated with the presence of a human body, or pheromones , to attract and trap bugs in a container. Bedbug detectors can confirm an infestation, but do not trap enough for eradication. Other conditions which produce symptoms similar to bedbug bites include scabies , gamasoidosis , allergic reactions , mosquito bites , spider bites , chicken pox and bacterial skin infections. To prevent bringing home bed bugs from outside

2211-456: The 1950s about 30% of houses in the United States had bedbugs; this percentage has fallen, which is believed to be partly due to the use of DDT to kill cockroaches. The invention of the vacuum cleaner and simplification of furniture design may have also played a role in the decrease. Others believe it might simply be the cyclical nature of the organism. However, rates of infestation in developed countries have increased dramatically since

2278-713: The 1980s. This is thought to be due to greater foreign travel; increased immigration from the developing world to the developed world; more frequent exchange of second-hand furnishings among homes; a greater focus on control of other pests, resulting in neglect of bed bug countermeasures; and the banning of effective pesticides coupled with increased resistance to those pesticides still permitted. The decrease in cockroach populations due to insecticide use may have aided bed bugs' resurgence, since cockroaches eat bedbugs. Increasing resistance to DDT and other potent pesticides may have also contributed, along with bans on DDT . The U.S. National Pest Management Association reported

2345-552: The Doral and seven other properties from Morgan Stanley. They quickly placed the Doral and four of the other properties under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection , and began seeking a buyer for the Doral. In February 2012, the Trump Organization purchased the Doral Resort & Spa out of bankruptcy for $ 150 million. The property's name was then changed to Trump National Doral. Trump began a $ 250-million renovation of

2412-643: The announcement. This was notable as it was a rare crack in the wall of Trump's Republican support. Trump National Doral Miami features four championship golf courses : The Blue Monster played host to the Doral Open on the PGA Tour from 1962 to 2006, and from 2007 to 2016 the WGC-Cadillac Championship made its home there after having been played at different venues in the United States and Europe since its inception in 1999. In 2016, it

2479-432: The bites have occurred. Reactions often become brisker after multiple bites due to possible sensitization to the salivary proteins of the bed bug. Numerous bites may lead to a red rash or hives . Bedbug bites may cause other symptoms and health issues. Serious allergic reactions including anaphylaxis from the injection of serum and other non-specific proteins have been documented, though rarely. As each bite takes

Mechanical approaches, such as vacuuming up the insects and heat-treating or wrapping mattresses, are effective. An hour at a temperature of 45 °C (113 °F) or over, or two hours at less than −17 °C (1 °F) kills them. This may include a domestic clothes drier for fabric or

Treatment of bed bug bites requires keeping the person from being repeatedly bitten, and possible symptomatic use of antihistamines and corticosteroids (either topically or systemically). There however is no evidence that medications improve outcomes, and symptoms usually resolve without treatment in 1–2 weeks. It

2680-410: The case. GIC sold the course in 2016 for $ 96 million to two homebuilders: Lennar and CC Homes. In May 2019 it was reported the resort was in "steep decline" financially, in which its net operating income had fallen by 69 percent – from $ 13.8 million in 2015 to $ 4.3 million two years later. In 2022, Axos Financial refinanced the $ 125 million mortgage held by Deutsche Bank . Trump "has been

2747-1154: The city after the Great Fire of London (1666). Giovanni Antonio Scopoli noted their presence in Carniola (roughly equivalent to present-day Slovenia) in the 18th century. Traditional methods of repelling or killing bed bugs include the use of plants, fungi, and insects (or their extracts), such as black pepper ; black cohosh ( Actaea racemosa ); Pseudarthria hookeri ; Laggera alata (Chinese yángmáo cǎo | 羊毛草); Eucalyptus saligna oil; henna ( Lawsonia inermis or camphire); "infused oil of Melolontha vulgaris " (presumably cockchafer ); fly agaric ( Amanita muscaria ); tobacco ; "heated oil of Terebinthina " (i.e. true turpentine ); wild mint ( Mentha arvensis ); narrow-leaved pepperwort ( Lepidium ruderale ); Myrica spp. (e.g. bayberry); Robert geranium ( Geranium robertianum ); bugbane ( Cimicifuga spp.); "herb and seeds of Cannabis "; "opulus" berries (possibly maple or European cranberrybush ); masked hunter bugs ( Reduvius personatus ), "and many others".

The Doral Country Club was built for $ 10 million (equivalent to $ 101 million in 2023) by Carol Management,

2881-417: The contemporary version of a destination often features large on-site capital investment in activities, although the access to a local natural feature is still retained by many newer destination hotels. A mega-resort is a type of destination which is of an exceptionally large size, sometimes featuring large-scale attractions ( casino , golf course , theme park , multiple accommodations ). The hotels along

2948-630: The eradication of bedbug infestations as most bedbugs are resistant to insecticides, including pyrethroids which are found in approximately 90% of commercial grade insecticides. Furthermore, insect foggers (known as "bug bombs") are ineffective in the eradication of bed bug infestation as they are unable to penetrate bed bug harborages. Resistance to pesticides has increased significantly over time, and there are concerns about harm to health from their use. Once established, bed bugs are extremely difficult to get rid of, particularly in buildings with multiple dwellings, as they may be present in other parts of

3015-448: The formation of prominent blisters (wheals and bullae) along with intense itching that may last several days. Vesicles and nodules may also form. The lesions due to bites may become secondarily infected due to scratching but systemic effects from bed bug bites are very rare. A central spot of bleeding may also occur due to the release of blood thinning substances in the bug's saliva. Symptoms may not appear until some days after

3082-404: The home, people are advised to take precautions after visiting an infested site or traveling on means of transport that may be infested; precautions include checking shoes on leaving the site, changing clothes outside the house before entering, and putting the used clothes in a clothes dryer outside the house. When visiting a new lodging, it is advised to check the bed before taking suitcases into

3149-550: The insects by impaling the feet ( tarsi ) of the insects. The leaves are then destroyed. Until the mid-20th century, bed bugs were very common. According to a report by the UK Ministry of Health , in 1933, all the houses in many areas had some degree of bed bug infestation. The increase in bed bug populations in the early 20th century has been attributed to the advent of electric heating, which allowed bed bugs to thrive year-round instead of only in warm weather. Bed bugs were

3216-649: The last three decades: increased immigration and international travel; expanded markets for second-hand goods; a greater focus on control of other pests; the banning of certain pesticides and increased resistance to pesticides still in use. Bed bugs infest dwellings and bite people, causing irritation and sometimes other issues. There is no evidence that bed bugs transmit infectious diseases even though they appear physically capable of carrying pathogens and this possibility has been investigated. The most common skin findings associated with bed bug bites are itching , flat and bumpy , reddish lesions . Each lesion

3283-399: The majority of its life searching for a host. When a bed bug is starved, it leaves its shelter and searches for a host. It returns to its shelter after successful feeding or if it encounters exposure to light. Cimex lectularius aggregate under all life stages and mating conditions. Bed bugs may choose to aggregate because of predation, resistance to desiccation, and more opportunities to find

3350-577: The medicinal use of bed bugs persisted until at least the 18th century, when Guettard recommended their use in the treatment of hysteria . Bed bugs were also mentioned in Germany in the 11th century, in France in the 13th century, and in England in 1583, though they remained rare in England until 1670. Some in the 18th century believed bed bugs had been brought to London with supplies of wood to rebuild

3417-574: The mid-19th century, smoke from peat fires was recommended as an indoor domestic fumigant against bed bugs. Dusts have been used to ward off insects from grain storage for centuries, including plant ash, lime, dolomite, certain types of soil, and diatomaceous earth or Kieselguhr. Of these, diatomaceous earth in particular has seen a revival as a non-toxic (when in amorphous form) residual pesticide for bed bug abatement. While diatomaceous earth often performs poorly, silica gel may be effective. Basket-work panels were put around beds and shaken out in

Scattering leaves of plants with microscopic hooked hairs around a bed at night, then sweeping them up in the morning and burning them, was a technique reportedly used in Southern Rhodesia and in the Balkans. Bean leaves have been used historically to trap bedbugs in houses in Eastern Europe . The trichomes on the bean leaves capture

3551-399: The resort in 2013, which was completed in 2016. The purchase and renovation were financed with $ 125 million in loans from Deutsche Bank . Trump's purchase included four of the five golf courses. The fifth, the "Great White Course," was excluded from the sale because of its high potential for redevelopment. Instead, it was sold, along with the other bankrupt properties, to GIC , a creditor in

3618-730: The resort would host the event "at cost" or perhaps at no cost to American taxpayer. The move prompted renewed criticism that Trump was self-dealing in violation of the Foreign Emoluments Clause of the United States Constitution . House Judiciary Committee chairman Jerry Nadler called the selection of Doral "among the most brazen examples yet of the President's corruption." Lack of support from Trump's Republican allies who had grown weary of defending him led Trump to abandon his plans within days of

3685-725: The result of two species of insects from genus Cimex : Cimex lectularius (the common bed bug) and Cimex hemipterus (the tropical bed bug). These insects feed exclusively on blood and, at any stage of development, may survive up to 70 days without feeding. Adult Cimex are light brown to reddish-brown, flat, oval, and have no hind wings. The front wings are vestigial and reduced to pad-like structures. Adults grow to 4–5 mm (0.16–0.20 in) long and 1.5–2 mm (0.059–0.079 in) wide. Female common bed bugs can lay 1–10 eggs per day and 200–500 eggs in their lifetime, whereas female tropical bed bugs can lay about 50 eggs in their lifetime. Bed bugs have five immature nymph life stages and

3752-634: The sleeping area, and putting the suitcase on a raised stand to make bedbugs less likely to crawl in. Clothes should be hung up or left in the suitcase rather than left on the floor. Additional preventative measures include sealing cracks and crevices (where bed bugs often hide), inspecting furniture, and decontaminating clothes and luggage upon returning home. The founder of a company dedicated to bedbug extermination said that 5% of hotel rooms he booked into were infested. He advised people never to sit down on public transport; check office chairs, plane seats, and hotel mattresses; and monitor and vacuum home beds once

3819-410: The standard for such casino resorts. The Mirage gave its size and emphasis on non-gaming entertainment options like shopping and fine dining to draw in customers. Mega-resorts use the same fantastic or mythical theme (medieval life at Excalibur , tropical at The Mirage, famous cities, etc.) throughout their properties. Many mega-resorts have a large theme park as its centerpiece . Resorts such as

3886-456: The swelling subsides. Bedbugs prefer exposed skin, preferably the face, neck, and arms of a sleeping person. Bed bugs are attracted to their hosts primarily by carbon dioxide , secondarily by warmth, and also by certain chemicals. There is strong evidence that bed bugs can respond and orient towards human odors, independently of all other host cues. Cimex lectularius feeds only every five to seven days, which suggests that it does not spend

Heating tents or chambers can be used for infested materials or entire rooms can be heated to at least 55 °C (131 °F) to effectively eradicate infestation. There is no evidence to indicate that a combination of non-chemical methods plus insecticides is more effective than non-chemical methods alone with regards to eradication of bed bug infestations. Insecticides are mostly ineffective for

In France, these insects re-emerged, despite having disappeared from daily life in the 1950s, due to nomadic lifestyles, consumption of second-hand purchases, and bugs' resistance to insecticides, in addition to increased traveling and tourism following the COVID-19 lockdowns . Between 2017 and 2022, 11% of French households were infested by bed bugs, according to

4221-424: The tropics. Their size ranges between 1 and 7 mm. They spread by crawling between nearby locations or by being carried within personal items. Infestation is rarely due to a lack of hygiene but is more common in high-density areas. Diagnosis involves both finding the bugs and the occurrence of compatible symptoms. Bed bugs spend much of their time in dark, hidden locations like mattress seams, or cracks in

Despite being nearly eradicated in developed countries after World War II , infestations have increased since the 1990s and bed bugs are now relatively common in all regions of the globe. Experts point to several factors that have contributed to the explosion in infestations over

The Golden Palm hosted the PGA Tour's Qualifying Tournament in 1999 and since 2018 hosts the PGA Tour Latinoamérica Shell Tour Championship, and the Red Tiger hosted The Office Depot on the LPGA Tour in 2000, in addition in 2018 the Shell Tour Championship. The Latinoamérica Tour Championship
