PGA Tour to Hold Cadillac Championship at Trump National Doral Next Week

This marks the first time the tour has held an event at the Miami, Florida, venue since 2016. The tournament is the fifth signature event of the year. The WGC-Cadillac Championship was hosted at Doral from 2007 to 2016. It moved to Mexico City in 2017, during President Trump's first year in office. The Trump Organization purchased the property for $150 million in 2012.

The event was announced in July 2025.

On Friday evening, the PGA Tour Communications account on X shared the list of players for the inaugural Cadillac Championship. The post mentioned the venue's ownership, leading to various reactions online. Fox News reported that some reactions expressed dissatisfaction with the choice of location.

The source described these as responses to the tournament being held on property owned by the Trump Organization.

Players Doral is regarded as one of the most difficult golf courses in the country. It will test top players, including Scottie Scheffler, the world No. 1, who is participating. Rory McIlroy, Matt Fitzpatrick, and Ludvig Aberg have chosen not to compete in the event. The next signature event is the Truist Championship the following week. The PGA Championship follows shortly after.

Fox News noted that there are discussions about the frequency of these events, with the Truist Championship being the sixth of the year. The source indicated that the scheduling comes ahead of the PGA Championship.
