Report: Trump National Doral expected to return to PGA Tour schedule next year
Is Trump National Doral returning to the PGA Tour schedule? According to a Sports Business Journal report, which cited 'five industry sources,' yes. Trump National Doral, which is owned by the Trump Organization, is expected to host its first PGA Tour event in nine years, occupying next year's April 30-May 3 date between the Zurich Classic and Truist Championship. The addition means the CJ Cup Byron Nelson will move back on the calendar and precede the Charles Schwab Challenge, also in the Dallas area. The PGA Tour, which typically releases the following season's schedule in August, already declined comment to SBJ. Located about a half hour west of downtown Miami, Trump National Doral hosted the PGA Tour's Doral Open from 1962 to 2006 before the tournament became a World Golf Championships event from 2007 to 2016. The tournament was moved to Mexico City in 2017. During its absence from the PGA Tour schedule, Trump National Doral hosted a LIV Golf event in each of the league's first four seasons, including this year the week before the Masters. It is not, however, on LIV's 2026 schedule. Other schedules notes from the SBJ report, which ends with a full projected schedule, included the exclusion of the Mexico Open from the next year's schedule, as well as the swapping of spots between the WM Phoenix Open and AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, the latter of which will now be played the week before the Genesis Invitational.

Shane Lowry returns to Royal Portrush where a large mural honors his 2019 British Open win
PORTRUSH, Northern Ireland – Shane Lowry is glad he doesn't have to drive by his mural this week, which is located on the side of a house about a par 5 away from Royal Portrush and was unveiled a year ago ahead of the 153rd British Open. And, yes, he has received plenty of pictures of the mural depicting him hoisting the Claret Jug after winning the 2019 British Open at Royal Portrush. No need to send them to him anymore. 'Everyone that comes up here sends me pictures standing beside it. Some of them I can't say what they were doing in it,' he said on Monday during a press conference. 'But it is very special. I've done something special in my life.' Lowry didn't know what to make of the mural at first. He doesn't look at himself as someone worthy of being celebrated as a national hero. He's just Shane. 'I'm just myself. I just happen to be OK at golf and lucky enough that I got to achieve some pretty cool things. Honestly, that's how I feel about it,' he said. Lowry also knows that six years have come and gone ad he hasn't added to his major title. He only has one PGA Tour victory since – a team title with Rory McIlroy at the 2024 Zurich Classic of New Orleans. Having won at Portrush in a rout by six strokes was the culmination of a lifetime dream and he celebrated into the wee hours of the morning. Video of him singing at the Harbour Bar and elsewhere went viral. 'I've always been a firm believer that when you win, you need to try and celebrate those victories. So I did that that night,' he said. But what he achieved here in 2019 is in the past. He's enjoyed being home in Ireland for the past three weeks for the first time since Christmas and set up shop last week in Waterville to practice. He ticked off rounds he played at Portmarnock, The Island, Baltray, Waterville, Hogs Head and Adare Manor. 'So I've played some of the best courses we have in the country,' he said. The only problem? He said he's been playing too well. When he won in 2019, he was down in the dumps and feeling rotten about his chances until he went for a drink with his coach, Neil Manchip, who set him straight. So, Lowry has a pretty good idea what he needs to do to prepare properly. ' I just need to play shit for the next couple of days, and I'll be all right,' he cracked. 'No matter what I done then, it doesn't give me any God-given right to do anything special this week. I just need to get my head down on Thursday morning and get after it and see what happens.'

Jake Knapp Suffers Painful Finish at PGA Tour's Rocket Classic
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Jake Knapp once again experienced the ups and downs that have characterized his PGA Tour season at the Rocket Classic. Despite firing a second-round 61, a new course record at Detroit Golf Club, he couldn't quite seal the deal, ending with a painful finish. A birdie on the 18th hole would have given him a chance to enter the playoff to decide the event's title. Knapp played aggressively, hitting the fairway with his 328-yard tee shot and reaching the green with an excellent second shot. The ball settled for a 14-foot-9 birdie putt. But the golf gods denied him, as his shot broke slightly to the right, landing just 12 inches from the edge of the cup. That miss cemented his final result at the Rocket Classic: tied for fourth at 21-under. It's fair to say Knapp left several putts on the course that could have led to an even better finish. He missed two other attempts inside 15 feet, including a 13-foot eagle putt on the 17th and a 14-foot birdie try on the 13th. His overall performance for the round included six birdies and four bogeys (4-under).

Jake Knapp of the United States reacts after a putt on the 17th green during the final round of the Rocket Classic 2025 at Detroit Golf Club on June 29, 2025 in Detroit, Wasn't All Bad for Jake Knapp in Detroit Despite the disappointing ending, it was a solid weekend for the 31-year-old. It marked his third top-10 finish of the season (T6 at the Cognizant Classic and T3 at the Zurich Classic), allowing him to climb six spots in the FedEx Cup rankings (from 60th to 54th). He also moved up seven places in the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR), from 97th to 85th. Knapp has had numerous ups and downs throughout the season. This has led him, on one hand, to post a sub-60 round (a first-round 59 at the Cognizant Classic), and on the other, to notch only three top-10 finishes in 18 tournaments played (13 cuts made). He has carded 27 rounds with scores in the 60s or better; however, Kanpp hasn't been able to string them together in a way that would have translated into a stronger overall result this season. Aldrich Potgieter ultimately won the Rocket Classic, defeating Max Greyserman and Chris Kirk in a five-hole playoff. Kirk was eliminated on the second hole, while Potgieter took the title with a birdie on the fifth, something Greyserman couldn't match.
