For the first time in 10 years, the PGA Tour will reportedly return to Trump National Doral.
The news came on Tuesday when the PGA announced next season’s Tour schedule which included a stop at Doral in the first weekend of May — one of several signature events between the Masters in April and the start of the PGA Championship on May 11.
Doral will play host to the 2026 Miami Championship which will boast a $20 million purse, however there are still some issues to be worked out by new CEO Brian Rolapp and his team.
“We’re excited to showcase the game’s greatest players competing at golf’s most iconic venues,” he said in a statement (via ESPN.com).
The PGA moved away from Trump Doral in favor of Mexico City back in 2016 when Trump was first running for office as part of the Republican party.
Doral debuted on the Tour way back in 1962. However, issues finding a title sponsor began to pop up after Trump purchased the resort in 2012 and still appear to be plaguing the venue to this day.
The PGA is still reportedly looking for a sponsor for next year’s tournament so it’ll be interesting to see what company decides to step up. Trump Doral has played host to several rival LIV tournaments over each of the last four years but doesn’t currently have a spot on the Saudi-backed league’s calendar as of right now.
More issues could arise
On top of the sponsorship troubles, the Miami Championship’s placement on the schedule could also pose an issue for the Tour.
With where its sandwiched between so many of the year’s big events, some of the PGA’s top golfers could elect to pass up on an appearance at Doral with five massive tournaments over a six-week stretch — including the first two majors of the year.

Time will tell how the Tour’s athletes ultimately handle where they choose to participate but it’s still noteworthy that the Trump-owned course is coming back to PGA competition.
