President Donald Trump’s Miami area golf course will host the PGA Tour in 2026, the first time in about a decade that the league will hold an event at a Trump property.

The Professional Golfers’ Association 2026 Miami Championship will descend on Trump National Doral from April 30 to May 3, according to a statement Tuesday. It’s a sign the league is again embracing Trump’s golf courses after a relationship that strained after he moved into politics, and adds to a pattern of businesses that once distanced themselves but are doubling back and thawing relationships in his second term.

Bloomberg News wealth reporter Annie Massa joins to discuss her reporting on the the PGA's big return to one of Trump's signature golf courses.
