The PGA Tour plans to bring a tournament back to Trump National Doral near Miami in 2026, Sports Business Journal reported Monday.

Per Sports Business Journal, a new tournament at Doral is expected to be scheduled for the week of April 27-May 3, in between the Zurich Classic of New Orleans (a team event) and the Truist Championship (a signature event). The title sponsor and tournament organizer are still unknown.

The resort, purchased by the Trump Organization in 2012, hosted a PGA Tour event from 1962-2016 on its famed “Blue Monster” course. During Donald Trump’s first run for president, the tour moved the WGC-Cadillac Championship from Doral to Mexico City, at a time when other golf governing bodies also attempted to distance themselves from the then-candidate.

LIV Golf has played at Trump Doral for four straight years since its inception in 2022, but the course is not on the 2026 LIV schedule, leaving open the possibility that the PGA Tour could return.

Trump has met with representatives from the PGA Tour and LIV, including Tiger Woods and PGA commissioner Jay Monahan, regarding the rival sides’ attempt to merge. The PGA Tour returning to a Trump-owned property could be seen as an olive branch to the president, who has supported the Saudi-backed LIV circuit since its inception.

Doral hosted the Doral Open from 1962-2006 before it became a permanent venue for the WGC-Cadillac Championship from 2007-16.

The Open Championship prize pool will remain at $17 million this week, the first time in 13 years the R&A has not increased the purse.

Sunday’s winner at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland will earn $3.1 million, the same amount Xander Schauffele took home last year at Royal Troon in Scotland.

The runner-up will earn $1.759 million with third place receiving $1.128 million.

The U.S. Open’s payout was unchanged this year, too, maintaining the same $21.5 million purse it had in 2024.

The largest purse on the PGA Tour is $25 million for The Players Championship.

England’s Paul Waring announced Monday he will not participate in The Open Championship this week because of a shoulder injury.

Davis Riley will replace Waring in the final major of the year that will start Thursday at Royal Portrush Golf Club in Northern Ireland.

Waring, 40, is a two-time winner on the European Tour who finished tied for 19th at The Open in 2008. He has played in a major seven times, with five of them at The Open.

Riley, a native of Mississippi, has two victories on the PGA Tour, the most recent at the Charles Schwab Challenge in May of last year. The 28-year-old will participate in all four major tournaments during the same calendar year for the first time.

Riley finished tied for second at the PGA Championship in May. He missed the cut at The Open in 2023.

Waring announced his withdrawal one day after four-time major winner Ernie Els did the same when Si Woo Kim of South Korea was added to the field.

Missing the cut at the past two majors hasn’t dimmed Shane Lowry’s confidence as the Irishman returns to the scene of his greatest triumph this week.

Lowry followed up a T42 at the Masters with early exits at the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow and the U.S. Open at Oakmont.

He won his lone major at The Open Championship at Royal Portrush — site of this week’s championship — in Northern Ireland in 2019, finishing 15-under to defeat Englishman Tommy Fleetwood by a whopping six strokes.

“I kind of pride myself on not missing cuts, especially in the big events. I feel like I can always get myself there or thereabouts in the big events and I have done over the last number of years,” Lowry said Monday at Royal Portrush.

“But I’ve been consistently quite good this year. I’ve given myself a couple of chances to win, which I’m very disappointed that I didn’t, but we’ve got a few months left to kind of redeem myself and get a win on the board.”

Lowry, 38, who skipped last week’s Genesis Scottish Open, is ranked No. 18 in the world and has four top-10 finishes on the PGA Tour this season. He tied for second at the Truist Championship in May and was second at Pebble Beach in February.

“No matter how well you’re playing the season, if you don’t have a win beside your name at least once, you don’t really class it as being very good,” Lowry said. “Yeah, but my season has been going — I’ve got a good FedExCup ranking (17th) at the minute and things have been going all right.”

Lowry said he’d “spent the last six years” trying to figure out why everything came together for him at Royal Portrush in 2019.

“I’d been playing pretty solid, like really good golf the whole year,” he said. “Then I came to a place that I knew and I loved, and it just all clicked. I was playing some of the best golf of my life.”

At last year’s Open at Royal Troon, Lowry held the lead entering Saturday’s round and finished sixth.

Despite the disappointing results at the last two majors, Lowry said he feels like he is a better golfer now than he was six years ago.

“But it doesn’t mean I’m going to go out and win by seven this year instead of six. It’s just golf; that’s the way it is,” he said.

“I think, as a golfer, you always have to look at it as the glass is always half full. You can’t look at it any other way. If you look at it any other way, you’re going to be in trouble. So I try and look at it that way all the time.”
