The PGA Tour has announced a new Signature Event at a Donald Trump-owned course as part of the schedule for the 2026 FedExCup season.
Trump National Doral’s ‘Blue Monster’ course, owned by the Trump Organisation, will host the new Miami Championship – the ninth Signature Event on the PGA Tour schedule – from April 30 – May 3.
The Florida venue hosted the Doral Open from 1962 to 2006 and a World Golf Championships event from 2007 to 2016. It now returns to the PGA Tour schedule after a 10-year absence and having hosted a LIV Golf League event for each of the last four years.
The Miami Championship is one of 35 official regular season events in the 2026 FedExCup schedule, before the campaign finishes with the 20th edition of the FedExCup Playoffs.
“We’re excited to showcase the game’s greatest players competing at golf’s most iconic venues,” said PGA Tour chief executive Brian Rolapp. “Inspired by our players and fans, we’re accelerating the Tour’s evolution and ushering in a new era of innovation on and off the course.
“We’re thrilled with our momentum in 2025, as our season-long ratings and event attendance are confirming that our players and their stories are resonating with fans.”
