PGA Tour confirm Trump National Doral will stage signature event in 2026
Trump National Doral, owned by US President Donald Trump, will host the Miami Championship in 2026 as the PGA Tour announced changes to their schedule for next season.
Donald Trump's Doral course in Florida has been reinstated to the PGA Tour schedule for the 2026 season.
The iconic Blue Monster course at Trump National Doral has not hosted a PGA Tour event since 2016, but the Miami venue is now among nine signature events.
Doral hosted the Miami Open for 44 years before staging the WGC-Cadillac Championship from 2007 to 2016, when the event was moved to Mexico during Trump's first presidential election campaign.
Jan 8-11 | The Sentry | Kapalua, Hawaii |
Feb 12-15 | AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am | Pebble Beach, California |
Feb 19-22 | Genesis Invitational, hosted by Tiger Woods | Riviera Country Club, California |
Mar 5-8 | Arnold Palmer Invitational | Bay Hill Country Club, Florida |
Apr 16-19 | RBC Heritage | Harbor Town Golf Links, South Carolina |
Apr 30-May 3 | Miami Championship | Trump National Doral, Florida |
May 7-10 | Truist Championship | Quail Hollow, North Carolina |
June 4-7 | The Memorial Tournament | Muirfield Village, Ohio |
June 25-28 | Travelers Championship | TPC River Highlands, Connecticut |
Four LIV Golf events have been played at Doral over the last four years, but the new Miami Championship will now feature at the Blue Monster from April 30 to May 3 next year, and it will be the sixth of the nine signature events on the schedule.
The signature events, each boasting a $20million prize fund, begin at Kapalua in January with The Sentry, and each will comprise the top-50 players in this season's FedExCup standings with other players able to qualify via the Aon Next 10 and Aon Swing 5.
There will be a total of 35 regular season tournaments on next year's schedule, which culminates with the 20th anniversary of the FedExCup Playoffs.
"We are excited to showcase the game's greatest players competing at golf's most iconic venues," said PGA Tour chief executive Brian Rolapp.
"Inspired by our players and fans, we're accelerating the Tour's evolution and ushering in a new era of innovation on and off the course.
"We're thrilled with our momentum in 2025, as our season-long ratings and event attendance are confirming that our players and their stories are resonating with fans."
One significant change for next season is that only the top 100 players in the FedExCup standings at the conclusion of the regular season will keep their cards for the following campaign, down from the usual 125.
Meanwhile, the Genesis Invitational, hosted by Tiger Woods, moves back to the Riviera Country Club having had to be played at Torrey Pines this year due to the Californian wildfire devastation.
Quail Hollow, which hosted the PGA Championship this year, now reverts back to staging the Truist Championship, a favourite venue for Rory McIlroy having won there four times.
Rolapp added: "We extend our thanks to the entire membership – including player directors and the player advisory council – as well as our events and partners, who are working alongside fans on a vision for the future of both the PGA Tour and the game of golf."
