PGA Tour's Miami Championship heading to Trump National Doral in 2026 as signature event
President Donald Trump and the PGA Tour are back in business together. Nine years after the PGA Tour pulled out of its annual tournament at Trump National Doral in Miami during his first presidential run, the tour announced on Tuesday that it will make a return to Doral for the 2026 Miami Championship, which runs from April 30 to May 3. The new event has also received signature event status, meaning it is one of nine higher-stakes tournaments where only top players are qualified. Advertisement This move comes during a year of developing coziness between Trump and the PGA Tour. Outgoing PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan and several PGA Tour players have made multiple trips to the White House to meet with Trump, with the goal of having Trump serve as a mediator to progress a deal with the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia. Monahan and tour stars like Rory McIlroy voiced confidence that Trump would help unify the tour with the Saudi-funded LIV Golf, but a White House meeting in February between the PGA Tour and PIF governor Yasir Al-Rumayyan ended with the sides further apart. There have been no indications of any movement on a deal in recent months. As far back as those February meetings, Monahan — since replaced by new PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp — indicated he 'certainly could see' Trump venues returning to the schedule. The PGA Tour began to host annual events at Doral Country Club in 1962. Trump bought the club in 2012, then renamed it Trump Doral. While Trump was running for president in 2016, the PGA Tour pulled its World Golf Championship from Doral and moved it to Mexico City. The tour also canceled a 2015 Grand Slam of Golf exhibition at Trump Los Angeles. Then, days after the riot at the U.S. Capitol Building on Jan. 6, 2021, the PGA of America — a different organization than the PGA Tour — moved the 2022 PGA Championship away from Trump Bedminster. Since 2023, the PGA Tour has had eight 'signature' events that carry greater stature throughout the regular season. They boast larger purses and exclusivity, with just the top 50 players from the previous year's FedExCup and select in-season qualifiers earning a spot. The Miami Championship makes nine such events, creating a potential logjam in the tour schedule. The PGA Tour will have three signature events in the four weeks between the first two major championships of the season. The Masters will be from April 9-12, followed by the RBC Heritage, the Miami Championship and the Truist Championship before the PGA Championship from May 14-17. Advertisement CBS will broadcast the Miami Championship. The network's parent company, Paramount Global, recently paid President Trump $16 million to settle a lawsuit over the editing of an interview on the CBS News program '60 Minutes.' Former Masters champ Adam Scott, a PGA Tour policy board member, sat in the White House meetings and told The Athletic in February: 'I feel like we have somebody who cares about the game in a very, very powerful position. I really think he can probably be helpful in getting this all to a good place, for sure.' McIlroy played golf with Trump in the winter and said he believes Trump is 'on the PGA Tour's side.' He added that Trump told him he's not a fan of LIV Golf's 54-hole team stroke play format, despite LIV Golf having hosted seven events in its four-year history at Trump's courses in New Jersey, Virginia and Miami, paying the Bedminster and Doral courses to do so. Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, has received a reported $2 billion investment in his private equity firm from the PIF. 'I was like, but you've hosted their events,' McIlroy said. '(Trump) was like, yeah, but it doesn't mean that I like it. So I think he's on the tour's side.' (Photo of President Donald Trump: Brendan Smialowski / AFP via Getty Images) Spot the pattern.

Hamas says it has accepted a new Arab proposal in Gaza ceasefire talks
CAIRO (AP) — Hamas says it has accepted a proposal from Arab mediators for a ceasefire in the 22-month war sparked by its Oct. 7, 2023, attack into Israel. Israel has not yet responded and says it is still committed to defeating the militant group. The latest proposal developed by Egypt and Qatar contains only slight modifications to an earlier one advanced by the United States and accepted by Israel, according to Egyptian and Hamas officials who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive talks. The deal would include a 60-day truce, the release of some of the hostages held by Hamas in return for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners, a flood of humanitarian aid into Gaza and talks on a lasting ceasefire. Israel has vowed to continue the war until all the hostages are returned and Hamas is disarmed. President Donald Trump gave support to those goals Monday in a social media post, saying Hamas must be 'confronted and destroyed' to ensure the return of the remaining hostages. A ceasefire, a hostage release and an influx of aid The details of the latest proposal have not been made public, but the two Egyptian officials and two Hamas officials described the broad outlines to The Associated Press. There would be a 60-day ceasefire in which Israeli forces would pull back to a buffer zone extending 800 meters (875 yards) into Gaza. The officials said Trump's Mideast envoy, Steve Witkoff, had proposed 1,500 meters (1,640 yards) and Hamas countered with 600 meters (656 yards) before the talks stalled last month. Hamas would release 10 living hostages and the remains of 18 others in phases, in exchange for the release of around 1,700 Palestinians imprisoned by Israel, including 200 serving life sentences after being convicted of deadly attacks. Hamas-led militants took 251 people hostage in the Oct. 7 attack and killed around 1,200, mostly civilians. Fifty hostages are still in Gaza, around 20 of them believed by Israel to be alive, after most of the rest were released in ceasefires or other deals. Israel would allow 600 trucks of humanitarian aid to enter each day, a major increase that could help arrest what experts have described as the territory's slide toward famine. Israel allowed a similar amount of aid to enter during a ceasefire earlier this year. During the temporary ceasefire, the sides would negotiate a lasting truce, the release of the remaining hostages and the further withdrawal of Israeli forces. Israel is committed to destroying Hamas Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that while he will halt the fighting temporarily to facilitate the release of hostages, he will not end the war until Hamas has been defeated and disarmed. Even then, he says Israel will maintain security control over Gaza and facilitate the relocation of much of its population to other countries through what he describes as voluntary emigration. Palestinians and much of the international community view it as forcible expulsion. Earlier this month, Netanyahu announced plans to occupy Gaza City and other densely populated areas, which would likely result in even more casualties and further waves of mass displacement. Those threats were partly aimed at pressuring Hamas. Israel's offensive has already killed over 62,000 Palestinians, according to Gaza's Health Ministry. The ministry does not say how many were civilians or combatants but says women and children make up around half of those killed. Vast areas of Gaza have been completely destroyed. The ministry is part of the Hamas-run government and run by medical professionals. The U.N. and many independent experts view its figures as the most reliable estimate of wartime casualties. Israel disputes them but has not provided its own numbers. Hamas is severely weakened but not defeated Hamas has suffered heavy losses through nearly two years of war. Most of its top leaders have been killed, its rocket supplies have been vastly depleted, and Israel has regularly announced the destruction of tunnel complexes and other military infrastructure. Iran and Hamas' other regional allies are in disarray after Israeli and U.S. strikes. The Israeli military says it now controls at least 75% of Gaza, with much of the population — and the remnants of Hamas' government and police force — largely confined to Gaza City, built-up refugee camps from the 1948 war surrounding Israel's creation and Muwasi, a sprawling tent camp along the coast. The hostages are Hamas' last bargaining chip and its only hope of emerging from the war with something it can try to portray as a victory. The militant group has said it will only release the remaining captives in return for more Palestinian prisoners, a lasting ceasefire and a complete Israeli withdrawal. Hamas says it is willing to hand over power to other Palestinians but will not lay down its arms as long as Israel occupies lands the Palestinians want for a future state. Israel says any arrangement that leaves Hamas intact and armed would allow it to eventually rebuild its forces and launch another Oct. 7-style attack. The U.S. role is crucial Israel has been tight-lipped about the talks, and it's unclear when it will respond. The Security Cabinet, which would need to approve any such deal, usually meets on Thursdays. In the meantime, all eyes are on Washington. Trump helped to get a previous ceasefire across the finish line in January after former President Joe Biden's administration and Arab mediators had spent months hammering it out. The U.S. then offered its full support when Israel ended that truce and resumed its air and ground war in March. Trump alone might be able to convince Israel to halt the war without trying to eradicate Hamas at the cost of countless more Palestinian lives and possibly the remaining hostages. He says he wants to return the hostages and end the war but has not publicly pressured Israel. In a post Monday on his Truth Social website, Trump appeared once again to express full support for Netanyahu's endgame. 'We will only see the return of the remaining hostages when Hamas is confronted and destroyed!!! The sooner this takes place, the better the chances of success will be,' he wrote. 'Play to WIN, or don't play at all!' ___ Krauss reported from Ottawa, Ontario. Associated Press writer Melanie Lidman in Tel Aviv, Israel, contributed to this report. ___ Follow AP's war coverage at

Trump offers assurances that US troops won't be sent to help defend Ukraine
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Tuesday offered his assurances that U.S. troops would not be sent to help defend Ukraine against Russia after seeming to leave open the possibility the day before. Trump also said in a morning TV interview that Ukraine's hopes of joining NATO and regaining the Crimean Peninsula from Russia are 'impossible.' The Republican president, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and other European leaders held hours of talks at the White House on Monday aimed at bringing an end to Russia's war against Ukraine. While answering questions from journalists, Trump did not rule out sending U.S. troops to participate in a European-led effort to defend Ukraine as part of security guarantees sought by Zelenskyy. Trump said after his meeting in Alaska last week with Russian President Vladimir Putin that Putin was open to the idea of security guarantees for Ukraine. But asked Tuesday on Fox News Channel's 'Fox & Friends' what assurances he could provide going forward and beyond his term that American troops would not be part of defending Ukraine's border, Trump said, 'Well, you have my assurance, and I'm president.' Trump would have no control over the U.S. military after his terms ends in January 2029. The president also said in the interview that he is optimistic that a deal can be reached to end the Russian invasion, but he underscored that Ukraine will have to set aside its hope of getting back Crimea, which was seized by Russian forces in 2014, and its long-held aspirations of joining the NATO military alliance. 'Both of those things are impossible,' Trump said. Putin, as part of any potential deal to pull his forces out of Ukraine, is looking for the withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, as well as recognition of Crimea as Russian territory.
