Topline
The PGA Tour will host an event at Trump’s Miami-area golf course for the first time since 2016—repairing its relationship with the president since the tour cut ties with him in the wake of the Jan. 6 Capitol riots.
The Trump organization announced Tuesday Trump Doral will host the Miami Championship April 30-May 3 next year, offering a $20 million purse.
Trump and the PGA were at war after it severed ties with Trump and moved the PGA Championship out of his Bedminster, New Jersey, club days after the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riots, with then-PGA of America CEO Seth Waugh calling it a “political situation not of our making.”
Trump’s relationship with the tour has been rocky since it canceled an event at Trump’s Los Angeles golf club in 2015 following controversial remarks he made about Mexican immigrants.
The feud escalated in 2022 when Trump partnered with the Saudi-backed LIV tour, as Trump accused the tour of “taking advantage of the players for many years.”
