Donald Trump-owned courses will host PGA Tour, LIV Golf tournaments next year
Donald Trump will be hosting events on the PGA Tour and LIV Golf for the first time in the same season in 2026.
LIV Golf will return to Trump National Golf Club Washington D.C., in Sterling, Virginia, next year. The PGA Tour is expected to host an event at Trump National Doral, outside of Miami.
LIV will return to Virginia for the second time with the 2026 event scheduled for May 8-10. The Saudi Arabia-backed tour has had at least one event on a course owned by the president every year since its inception in 2022.
The Tour is expected to return to Doral in 2026, according to Sports Business Journal. The publication reported the event is expected to be April 27-May 3, three weeks after the Masters and two weeks before the PGA Championship. The tournament potentially will be a signature event with a $20 million purse.
LIV is pulling out of Doral for 2026, the first time it will not hold a tournament at the course.
The PGA Tour had a 54-year history at Doral before pulling out following the 2016 World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship and after losing its title sponsor.

The move also came following then-presidential candidate Trump's discriminatory statements about Mexicans and Muslims, giving the Tour even more reason to separate itself from Trump.
