DORAL, Fla. — Donald Trump is expected to make appearance at LIV Golf’s first domestic event of the season, which is being held this week at his resort outside of Miami.
Trump is scheduled to arrive in Miami on Thursday afternoon, according to a notice of temporary flight restrictions posted by the Federal Aviation Administration on Monday. He is expected to proceed directly to Trump National Doral, which is six miles from the airport.
A United States Marine Corps helicopter was spotted Wednesday landing on the ninth hole at Trump National Doral, possibly a dry run for the president’s arrival.
Trump has appeared at two of the previous three LIV events at Doral and participated in the Pro-Am two years ago. This is the first time he is expected to make an appearance as president.
While LIV officials have been told to anticipate Trump’s arrival, nothing has been said about him participating in Thursday’s Pro-Am.
LIV returns to Trump’s course at Doral for a fourth straight year. The 54-hole event starts Friday and runs through Sunday. Trump has supported LIV since its inception and recently hosted officials from LIV’s financial backer, Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, and the PGA Tour at the White House attempting to help unify the two tours.
Trump properties have hosted LIV events each year since the tour was launched in 2022.
Trump has appeared at two of the previous LIV events at Doral, playing in the Pro-Am in 2022 and spending time mingling with players on the putting green last year.
During LIV’s first event at Doral, Trump played nine holes with Brooks Koepka and nine with Sergio Garcia in a group that included his son, Eric, and granddaughter, Kai Trump.
Last year he appeared briefly before the final round.
