Trump National Doral Returns: A New Era for the PGA Tour Schedule

Trump National Doral is reinstated on the PGA Tour schedule as a signature event in May, marking a significant five-tournament spring stretch. This $20 million event complements iconic tournaments like the Masters. Despite schedule consistency, the PGA Tour faces challenges, including sponsorship and player participation decisions.

The prestigious Trump National Doral is making a comeback on the PGA Tour schedule next year, promising to be an exhilarating signature event. Scheduled for the first weekend in May, it will undoubtedly test the endurance and commitment of top golfers, coinciding with a packed season of high-profile tournaments.

Doral had historically marked the start of Florida's golf season, attracting international stars. With a $20 million purse, this event will be part of a six-week sequence that begins with the Masters and ends with the PGA Championship, including three other signature events.

However, the tour isn't without challenges; questions loom regarding player participation and the title sponsorship for the Miami Championship. The tournament's move to Mexico City in 2016, following Donald Trump's acquisition, remains noteworthy. The Tour also announced minimal changes to the 2025 schedule, indicating a largely stable future.
