LIV Golf Returns to Trump’s Doral Course in April
DORAL, Fla. – In a recent announcement, former President Donald Trump revealed that his Trump National Doral golf course, located near Miami, will host a LIV Golf event in April. Although he did not specify the exact date, it is believed that the event will take place from April 5-7, just before the Masters tournament.
While Trump shared this news on the Truth Social site, LIV Golf has not yet confirmed the deal with his Doral course. However, Trump expressed his confidence in the event’s success, stating, “The event they had at Doral in October was a major success!”
Interestingly, Trump’s golf courses were conspicuously absent from the 2024 LIV Golf schedule, likely to avoid any potential conflicts during his ongoing campaign to regain the presidency lost in 2020. In the previous years, Doral had been listed as the season-ending event for 2022 and 2023. Additionally, LIV Golf had utilized Trump National in Bedminster, New Jersey, as their venue for the past two years, and this season included a stop at his course in northern Virginia.
Last year, LIV Golf ventured to Orlando, Florida, a week before the prestigious Masters tournament. Doral, renowned in golf circles as the “Blue Monster” for over half a century, has historically been a prominent fixture on the PGA Tour’s Florida swing and was once considered the inaugural stop on the road to the Masters.
Notably, LIV Golf recently made a surprising move by signing Masters champion Jon Rahm. This unexpected development comes as the PGA Tour and the Saudi Arabian backers of LIV Golf engage in negotiations for a commercial partnership announced in June.
