The PGA Tour plans to bring a tournament back to Trump National Doral near Miami in 2026, Sports Business Journal reported Monday.
Per Sports Business Journal, a new tournament at Doral is expected to be scheduled for the week of April 27-May 3, in between the Zurich Classic of New Orleans (a team event) and the Truist Championship (a signature event). The title sponsor and tournament organizer are still unknown.
The resort, purchased by the Trump Organization in 2012, hosted a PGA Tour event from 1962-2016 on its famed 'Blue Monster' course. During Donald Trump's first run for president, the tour moved the WGC-Cadillac Championship from Doral to Mexico City, at a time when other golf governing bodies also attempted to distance themselves from the then-candidate.
LIV Golf has played at Trump Doral for four straight years since its inception in 2022, but the course is not on the 2026 LIV schedule, leaving open the possibility that the PGA Tour could return.
Trump has met with representatives from the PGA Tour and LIV, including Tiger Woods and PGA commissioner Jay Monahan, regarding the rival sides' attempt to merge. The PGA Tour returning to a Trump-owned property could be seen as an olive branch to the president, who has supported the Saudi-backed LIV circuit since its inception.
Doral hosted the Doral Open from 1962-2006 before it became a permanent venue for the WGC-Cadillac Championship from 2007-16.
