The championship showdown is set to unfold in April 2024 at the Miami-based course, marking a major collaboration between LIV and the Trump-owned venue, as reported by Fox News.
In his Truth Social post, Trump shared the exciting news, stating, TRUMP NATIONAL DORAL, in Miami, has just signed with LIV GOLF to host a Championship Tournament in April 2024, highlighting the success of the previous Doral event in October.
