Return to Doral reopens signature events debate - Golf Channel
With the PGA Tour set to add another signature event in 2026 with a return to Doral, players are increasingly dealing with two different schedules.
www.golfchannel.comDirect answer: Latest reports indicate the PGA Tour plans to return to Trump National Doral in 2026, with a new event expected to be staged around late April to early May, reintroducing the Blue Monster on the schedule. Several outlets in mid-2025 through 2026 covered the plan, often naming the event Miami Championship or a similar title pending sponsors, and noting it would be the Tour’s first visit to Doral since 2016. These pieces also referenced the event as part of a broader expansion of signature events on the PGA Tour calendar [sources discussed in coverage from mid-2025 to 2026].
Context and what to watch next:
- Official PGA Tour confirmation and sponsor naming are key to the final event title and exact dates.
- The return is tied to Doral’s Blue Monster course, historically associated with the Cadillac Championship, and it would be the Tour’s first presence at Doral in a decade.
- Local impact coverage from Doral and Florida outlets often highlights city benefits and community reaction.
