The PGA Tour is returning to one of golf’s most iconic venues in 2026 as the U.S. President’s Trump National Doral hosts a brand new signature event.
The ‘Miami Championship’ will be held on Donald Trump’s ‘Blue Monster course on April 30 and marks its first time back on the PGA Tour since 2016.
Trump National Doral has been absent from the PGA Tour for a decade, having hosted a LIV Golf event for four seasons.
The course is one of Trump’s long list of golf courses he owns and was a staple on the Florida leg of the PGA Tour for many seasons.
The 2026 signature event will feature a $20 million purse and join eight high-profile tournaments with elite status and prize money.
It’ll be a part of an enduring six-week stretch, which includes the Masters and PGA Championship.
