The project was commissioned by $PATRIOT, a cryptocurrency group, but was allegedly put on hold after Cottrill accused the crypto group of copyright infringement after it allegedly used the likeness of the artwork to sell crypto tokens.<\/p>\n<p>Cottrill was paid $300,000 for the 15-foot bronze statue itself and another $60,000 for the gold leafing, but until full payment was received and agreements were made, he held the statue in an unknown location east of Columbus, Ohio. Terms were met last week, and Cottrill himself drove the statue from Ohio to Miami, Florida, for it to be installed between the first tee and driving range at Doral.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/outkick-sports\/pga-tour-players-refreshingly-normal-reactions-gold-trump-statue-doral\">Source &#8211; https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/outkick-sports\/pga-tour-players-refreshingly-normal-reactions-gold-trump-statue-doral <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The rather large and gold Donald Trump statue towering over Trump National Doral, host of this week&#8217;s Cadillac Championship on the PGA Tour, is understandably [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rop_custom_images_group":[],"rop_custom_messages_group":[],"rop_publish_now":"initial","rop_publish_now_accounts":{"twitter_2902945987_2902945987":""},"rop_publish_now_history":[],"rop_publish_now_status":"pending","footnotes":""},"categories":[16563],"tags":[],"stock_ticker":[],"class_list":["post-129860","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-market-news","entry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 -
