The PGA Tour will return to Trump National Doral in 2026 for a new event tentatively called the Miami Championship.
The tournament will be held April 30-May 3, 2026, and marks the Tour’s return to the course after a nine-year absence.
Trump Doral hosted PGA Tour events from 1962-2016 before being dropped when title sponsor Cadillac pulled out.

The Blue Monster is back on the PGA Tour calendar for 2026.

Tour officials unveiled the schedule for its upcoming season on Tuesday, Aug. 19, and among the 35 official FedEx Cup events is a return to Trump National Doral near Miami.

A new event – tentatively called the Miami Championship – will be played at the course owned by President Donald Trump from April 30-May 3, 2026.

‘We’re excited to showcase the game’s greatest players competing at golf’s most iconic venues,’ CEO Brian Rolapp said.

Trump National Doral has been the home of an annual LIV Golf tournament each of the past four years, but won’t be part of that tour’s 2026 schedule.

The famed Blue Monster course hosted PGA Tour events from 1962-2016 before being dropped from the schedule when title sponsor Cadillac declined to renew and a replacement couldn’t be found.

Around that same time, Trump upset Tour officials by making derogatory statements about certain ethnic groups during his campaign for president.

The event was subsequently moved to Mexico and renamed the VidantaWorld Mexico Open. With the introduction of the Miami Championship to the PGA Tour’s regular-season schedule, the Mexico Open will be contested as part of the FedEx Cup Fall slate.

The new tournament at Doral does not yet have a title sponsor, but sources tell Golfweek one is expected to be announced in the coming months, well before the tournament.
