PGA Tour Will Return to Trump Doral for New $20M Signature Event

The PGA Tour will return to Trump National Doral next season after a 10-year absence, bringing a new big-money tournament to the South Florida course.

The PGA Tour will return to Trump National Doral next season after a 10-year absence, bringing a new big-money tournament to the South Florida course owned by U.S. President Donald Trump.

Doral last hosted a PGA Tour event in 2016, but in 2026, it will be the home of the Miami Championship, set to be played April 30 to May 3. It’s likely a sponsor will be brought on and added to the tournament’s official name. The event will take place the week before LIV Golf plays its first U.S. event of its 2026 season at Trump National Golf Club Washington D.C. in Sterling, Va., on May 8–10.

The PGA Tour released its 2026 schedule Tuesday morning, confirming the addition of the Doral tournament, which will become the circuit’s ninth signature event, featuring an elevated field and $20 million purse. For the past three seasons, there have been eight signature events.

The Miami Championship is the only new tournament on the 2026 schedule. The Mexico Open, which was played in February this year, has been part of the PGA Tour since 2022, but it is no longer on the main season calendar. Several other tournaments will be played on different weeks of the year than they typically have, though. 

Trump Back With PGA Tour

When Trump was re-elected in November, many players and other PGA Tour leaders anticipated his return to the White House helping push forward negotiations with the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia, which financially backs LIV Golf.

“Those talks have been significantly bolstered by President Trump’s willingness to serve as a facilitator,” PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan said in March, after a meeting at the White House involving Monahan, Trump, Tiger Woods, Adam Scott, and PIF governor Yasir Al-Rumayyan.

Before November’s election, Trump said he could get a PGA Tour–PIF deal done in “the better part of 15 minutes.”

However, as the golf season ends this week with the Tour Championship in Atlanta and LIV’s team championship in Detroit, the rival tours still appear to remain far apart on any sort of merger or reintegration. LIV has not released its full 2026 schedule, but it has confirmed multiple dates for events next year.
