Donald Trump's iconic course back on the PGA Tour for 2026

The 'Miami Championship' will be held on Donald Trump's Blue Monster course on April 30 and marks its first time back on the PGA Tour since 2016.

Trump National Doral has been absent from the PGA Tour for a decade, having hosted a LIV Golf event for four seasons.

The course is one of Trump's long list of golf courses he owns and was a staple on the Florida leg of the PGA Tour for many seasons.

The 2026 signature event will feature a $20million purse and join eight high-profile tournaments with elite status and prize money.

It'll be a part of an enduring six-week stretch, which includes the Masters and PGA Championship.

Donald Trump's Floridian course has held several professional golf events through the years.

Name, the PGA Tour Doral Open - 1962 to 2006, the World Golf Championships - 2007 to 2016, LIV Golf Miami - 2022 to 2025 and the Miami Championship from 2026 onwards.

The Blue Monster course is one of golf's most iconic venues, making its long-awaited return to the PGA Tour.

It was bought by the Trump Organisation in 2012 for $150million before renovating its current challenging layout, deep bunkers and water hazards for a further $250million.

Trump National Doral Miami was featured in Golf magazine's Top 100 resorts to stay and play in 2019.

Australian Marc Leishman won LIV Miami at the Trump Doral course this year with a score of six under par through 54 holes.

And it was another Aussie, Adam Scott, who was the most recent player to win a PGA Tour event at the venue, with his 12 under par 72 holes enough to hold off Bubba Watson in the World Golf Championships.

The Miami Championship will offer a $20million purse, which is up for grabs across PGA Tour signature events.

The winner will receive approximately $3.6million to $4million, with the remaining prize money split between the top 50 players.

The latest Trump Doral event will see a fall in prize money, with the four previous LIV Miami events offering a $25million purse with a guaranteed $4million available to the winner, as well as team bonuses.
