Report: Trump National Doral expected to return to PGA Tour schedule next year
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.

2025 Open Championship odds, picks: Is this Tyrrell Hatton's breakthrough?
For the final time this season, players will tee it up in a major championship. The 2025 Open Championship is back at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland, the site of Shane Lowry's win in 2019. The first round begins on Thursday morning, with the winner taking home the Claret Jug on Sunday afternoon. Below, we look at Open Championship odds from BetMGM Sportsbook's odds and make our PGA Tour picks and predictions. As usual, Scottie Scheffler enters the week as the favorite to win with odds of +500, but Rory McIlroy isn't far behind. He's +700 to win in his home country of Northern Ireland, which would be his second career Open title. Jon Rahm has the third-best odds at +1200, followed by fellow LIV Golf champion Bryson DeChambeau at +2200. Lowry is +2500 to win once again at Royal Portrush. Royal Portrush is a par 71 and plays at 7,381 with undulating greens and tall dunes outlining holes. The fairways aren't as wide and sprawling as some other links courses can be, making accuracy off the tee essential. Given its modest length, players will likely be hitting a lot of mid-irons into the greens, which are average in size but slope pretty heavily. Lowry ran away from the field with a 6-shot victory here in 2019, finishing 15-under par despite shooting 1-over on Sunday. Open Championship – Expert picks Odds provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated Monday at 3:51 p.m. ET. It's understandable for anyone to be a bit down on McIlroy since his Masters win because, well, his game hasn't exactly been in peak form. However, he had a near-win on Sunday at the Genesis Scottish Open and closed well at the Travelers Championship last month. Plus, he's playing a course that's only about 60 miles from where he grew up. He never gave himself a chance at the 2019 Open when he made a quadruple bogey on his opening hole and finished the day 8-over, but he came back on Friday and fired a 65 to only miss the cut by 1. Schauffele only has 2 top-10s in his Open Championship career, but one of those was a victory and he's only finished worse than 26th once (T-41 in 2019 at Royal Portrush). He hasn't missed a cut in a major since 2022 and finished T-8, T28 and T-12 in this year's majors. His game is peaking at the perfect time after coming in eighth at the Scottish Open, hopefully carrying that over to this week's Open. If there's a major Hovland is going to win, it feels like the Open is the perfect one. Before missing the cut last year, he finished T-12, T-4 and T-13 in his 3 Open Championship appearances. That's a strong track record for a player with his ball-striking ability. Yes, his short game will be important this week but in the majors, hitting fairways and greens is typically the best measure of success. This number is fairly short for a player like Hatton, but he tied for sixth here in 2019 without shooting a single round over par. He's had a good year in the majors, making all 3 cuts so far with a T-14 and a T-4 mixed in. He should feel at home playing links golf and could be in contention on Sunday if he can avoid making big numbers and control his emotions. Open Championship picks – Contenders Straka finished alone in seventh at the Scottish Open this past week, continuing a stellar year for the Austrian. This will only be his fourth Open Championship, but in the last 2 years, he's finished T-22 and T-2. He's a big-game hunter and tends to show up in the most important events, which bodes well for his chances this week. Spieth withdrew from the Travelers Championship with a neck injury last month but he recently said he's back to full strength after dealing with spasms. That's encouraging as he enters the final major of the year, a tournament he always excels in. He's already won the Claret Jug once and finished T-20 at Royal Portrush in 2019, making the cut in his 11 career appearances – with nothing worse than a T-44, which came in his debut. WATCH: Get ESPN+ Open Championship picks – Long shots After struggling early in the year, Young has come into form recently with back-to-back fourth-place finishes at the RBC Canadian Open and U.S. Open. In 3 Open Championship appearances, he's finished second, eighth and 31st, all in the last 3 years. The biggest thing holding Young back is his putter so if he can simply be average on the greens, he'll have a chance. Kim had a close call in 2023 when he tied as the runner-up in the Open before missing the cut last year. He just tied for 17th in the Scottish Open last week, which is actually his worst career finish in 4 starts at that tournament. Translation: He knows how to play links golf and he tends to do well. Burmester has finished 40th, 11th and 19th in 3 career Open starts, which is a fairly good record for the South African who now plays on the LIV tour. He's 13th on LIV in points this season with 2 top-10s and 6 top-20 finishes overall. Play our free daily Pick'em Challenge and win! Play now!

Scottie Scheffler says being the No 1 golfer in the world is 'not a fulfilling life'
Scottie Scheffler is one of the best golfers on the planet and, dating back to last year, has been on a historic run. Yet, success from winning golf tournaments is not what "satisfies" him. Scheffler, 29, is a three-time major champion as he has won the Masters twice and the PGA Championship this year. He will look to inch closer to the career grand slam at The Open this week at Royal Portrush. The 16-time PGA Tour winner has been the world's No. 1 ranked golfer for over 100 weeks, yet his dominance on the course is not what is "fulfilling" to him. "There's a lot of people that make it to what they thought was going to fulfill them in life, and you get there, you get to No. 1 in the world, and they're like, what's the point?" Scheffler said at a press conference on Tuesday. "I really do believe that, because what is the point? Why do I want to win this tournament so bad? That's something that I wrestle with on a daily basis. It's like showing up at the Masters every year. It's like, 'Why do I want to win this golf tournament so badly? Why do I want to win the Open Championship so badly?' "I don't know because, if I win, it's going to be awesome for two minutes. Then we're going to get to the next week, 'Hey, you won two majors this year; how important is it for you to win the FedExCup playoffs?' And we're back here again." Scheffler referenced his celebration after he won the CJ Cup Byron Nelson tournament in his home state of Texas in May, when his moment of celebration felt so fleeting. "I said something after the Byron this year about like, it feels like you work your whole life to celebrate winning a tournament for like a few minutes. It only lasts a few minutes, that kind of euphoric feeling. To win the Byron Nelson Championship at home, I literally worked my entire life to become good at golf to have an opportunity to win that tournament," Scheffler said. "You win it, you celebrate, get to hug my family, my sister's there, it's such an amazing moment. Then it's like, 'OK, now what are we going to eat for dinner?' Life goes on." While being incredibly successful as a golfer might not be what ultimately fulfills him, it does give him a "sense of accomplishment." "Is it great to be able to win tournaments and to accomplish the things I have in the game of golf? Yeah, it brings tears to my eyes just to think about, because I've literally worked my entire life to be good at this sport. To have that kind of sense of accomplishment, I think, is a pretty cool feeling," Scheffler said. For Scheffler, he doesn't play to "inspire" the next generation of golfers, because, for him, being world No. 1 isn't fulfilling. "To get to live out your dreams is very special, but at the end of the day, I'm not out here to inspire the next generation of golfers. I'm not out here to inspire someone to be the best player in the world, because what's the point? This is not a fulfilling life. It's fulfilling from the sense of accomplishment, but it's not fulfilling from a sense of the deepest places of your heart," Scheffler said. Scheffler said the sport of golf is not the "be all, end all" for him. "(Golf) is not the most important thing in my life," Scheffler said. Scheffler and his wife, Meredith, share a 1-year-old son, Bennett. For Scheffler, his family takes priority. "I'm blessed to be able to come out here and play golf. But if my golf ever started affecting my home life or if it ever affected the relationship I have with my wife or with my son, you know, that's going to be the last day that I play out here for a living," Scheffler said. "I would much rather be a great father than I would be a great golfer. "At the end of the day, (golf is) just not what satisfies me."
