The PGA Tour is expected to return to one of President Trump's golf courses in 2026.
Trump Doral in Florida hosted a prominent PGA Tour tournament for several years. However, for the past decade, the PGA Tour has stayed away, possibly for political reasons. That is expected to change beginning in 2026.
According to a report from the Sports Business Journal report, which cited 'five industry sources,' Trump Doral is expected to host a PGA Tour tournament beginning in 2026.
It's expected to host a tournament in next year's April 30-May 3 date window, which falls between the Zurich Classic and Truist Championship.
Tiger Woods is a major fan of President Trump's courses.
Earlier this year, Tiger Woods and his son, Charlie Woods, played a round of golf with President Trump at his course in Florida. Perhaps we'll see Tiger Woods competing at the PGA Tour event at President Trump's course in 2026. Tiger Woods will need to be healthy, of course, but he has a good relationship with the President of the United States.
If Tiger Woods is physically able to play, it's likely that he'll be competing at President Trump's tournament.
LIV Golf star Bryson DeChambeau, meanwhile, wants to see The Open Championship return to President Trump's course in Scotland, Trump Turnberry.
"I look at it as a golf course," DeChambeau said after his round on Friday. "It's one of the best golf courses in the world, and I'd love for it to be a part of the rotation.
"Albeit I haven't played it, I've heard so many great things about it, and any time you get to play a special historical golf course like that, I think it's worthy of it, for sure."
DeChambeau thinks President Trump would do a great job of hosting the event.
"He'd still probably respect the R&A and what they're trying to accomplish," DeChambeau said. "I can't speak on his behalf, but what I can say is, knowing him, he'll do his best of a job as he possibly can."

What industries will be hit hardest by Trump's new 35% tariffs on Canada?

Prime Minister Mark Carney said Canadians 'will be our own best customer' to counteract the economic impact of American tariffs after U.S. President Donald Trump increased levies on Canadian goods to 35 per cent. That might be easier said than done, according to a Canadian political scientist and author. Daniel Drache is a professor emeritus of political science at York University and author of 'Has Populism Won?: The War on Liberal Democracy,' a book that examines how populist leaders leverage power through fear. After months of back-and-forth tariff announcements, Drache said Canadians understand Trump much better. 'Trump, in the eyes of many Canadians, looks like a shakedown artist. There's no enforceability in the agreements you sign,' Drache said. Canadians have no assurances Trump will abide by current trade agreements, court rulings or the World Trade Organization, for example. The latest tariff increases could impact industries such as automotive, aluminum, steel, lumber, pharmaceuticals and copper, Drache noted. 'For the people working in those industries, this has an immediate impact on our exports to the United States, and I think thousands of jobs are at stake as the exports decline and companies lay off workers,' said Drache. Drache said federal and provincial governments can break down internal trade barriers by allowing workers certified in one province to work in another. But that alone won't solve the biggest problem, he said. 'The big problem is Canada has basically not strengthened the east-west flow of goods and services in this country because of free trade (with the U.S.). So we are waiting for these big projects that Carney has announced to get underway. There's a lot of announcements, but so far very little action,' said Drache. Meanwhile, a study by RBC Economics suggests newly raised tariffs on Canadian goods do not significantly alter the country's economic outlook. RBC said the tariff exemption for goods compliant under the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Trade Agreement, better known as CUSMA, means most Canadian exports will maintain duty-free access to the American market. But Trump's executive orders signed July 31 slap hefty duties on Canadian exports of steel, aluminum and some autos entering the U.S., RBC added. About 86 per cent of Canadian exports to the U.S. should be permitted to cross the border duty-free, RBC added, provided those exports meet North American rule-of-origin requirements. In a statement posted to X on Friday, Aug. 1, Carney said the increased tariffs will hurt lumber, steel, aluminum and automobile industries. However, he pointed out the higher duties only apply to goods that fall outside of CUSMA, and that the U.S. average tariff rate on Canadian goods remains one of the lowest for all the United States' trading partners. 'While the Canadian government is disappointed by this action, we remain committed to CUSMA, which is the second-largest free trade agreement by trading volume,' said Carney. My statement on Canada-U.S. trade: According to a White House fact sheet , the executive order to increase tariff duties on Canada to 35 per cent from 25 took effect Aug. 1. The tariffs, imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, are meant to address a 'public health crisis caused by fentanyl and illicit drugs flowing across the northern border into the United States,' according to the White House. Goods transshipped to evade the 35 per cent tariff will be subject to a transshipment tariff of 40 per cent, the White House fact sheet adds. The Government of Canada has stated fentanyl seizures by the United States Customs and Border Patrol at the Canada-U.S. border represent less than 0.1 per cent of U.S. fentanyl seizures between 2022 and 2024. Calling the tariffs unjustified, Carney said Canada is making 'historic investments' in border security while stepping up the fight against the fentanyl trade. Carney said despite the higher tariffs, Canada continues to negotiate for a trade deal with the U.S. But the prime minister noted Canada's provinces and territories are also working together to break down internal trade barriers and create a single Canadian economy. 'Canadians will be our own best customer, creating more well-paying careers at home as we strengthen and diversify our trading partnerships throughout the world,' he said. Error!

Trump said he will fire Bureau of Labor Statistics commissioner hours after disappointing July jobs report

Following a disappointing jobs report on Friday, President Donald Trump said he plans to fire the Bureau of Labor Statistics commissioner. Dr. Erika McEntarfer was appointed to the BLS in January 2024 by former President Joe Biden. "We need accurate Jobs Numbers. I have directed my Team to fire this Biden Political Appointee, IMMEDIATELY. She will be replaced with someone much more competent and qualified," Trump wrote in a Truth Social post. "Important numbers like this must be fair and accurate, they can't be manipulated for political purposes." The US economy added 73,000 jobs in July, missing the expected 106,000, and revisions showed that there were far fewer jobs created in May and June than initially reported. Revisions to the jobs figures are not uncommon as BLS collects additional data in the months after the initial estimates, although the Bureau noted that this month's revisions were "larger than normal." Unemployment ticked up to 4.2%. Labor force participation also declined, falling to 62.2% in July from 62.3%. Trump wrote that the Friday jobs report was a "major mistake" and "The Economy is BOOMING under "TRUMP."' The White House and Department of Labor did not immediately respond to Business Insider's request for comment.

Judge Bars Expedited Deportations of Migrants Paroled Into U.S.

A federal judge in Washington barred the Trump administration on Friday from summarily removing hundreds of thousands of migrants who had been paroled into the United States after fleeing instability or violence in their home countries, blocking an aggressive push by the Department of Homeland Security to deport noncitizens. The move came in a ruling by Judge Jia M. Cobb of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia that blocked the administration's termination of a Biden-era program that allowed migrants fleeing Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela and Haiti to stay in the United States for up to two years. The ruling halted, for now, the rapid removal of individuals paroled into the United States 'at any time.' The Trump administration had announced the end of the program in March. It has since issued a number of other directives authorizing expedited removals by immigration agents and suspended or terminated programs that had allowed various groups of noncitizens to enter the country on a temporary basis. In her ruling, Judge Cobb said the case presented 'a question of fair play,' expressing dismay at what she described as an already tenuous legal landscape shifting under migrants' feet at the whim of the Trump administration. She noted recent efforts to step up detention and deportation quotas, leaving migrants subject to rapid deportation at the hands of immigration agents, often with little recourse to challenge their arrest or removal through normal channels. 'In a world of bad options, they played by the rules,' she wrote of the migrants admitted under the program. 'Now, the Government has not only closed off those pathways for new arrivals but changed the game for parolees already here, restricting their ability to seek immigration relief and subjecting them to summary removal despite statutory law prohibiting the executive branch from doing so.' Judge Cobb, a Biden appointee, also noted a marked rise in expedited removals after pressure from Stephen Miller, the White House deputy chief of staff, and Kristi Noem, the secretary of homeland security, who in May demanded that Immigration and Customs Enforcement step up immigration arrests to 3,000 per day.
