Last month, the Saudi-backed LIV Golf league announced its preliminary 2024 schedule and it came as a surprise to many when no events were planned at any golf courses owned by former United States President Donald Trump, especially considering his warm relationship with the league over the year. But it looks like an event will be played at a Trump course, after all.
On Friday morning, Donald Trump took to social media to announce the news that his Trump National Doral in Miami will host a LIV Golf championship in April of 2024.
“TRUMP NATIONAL DORAL, in Miami, has just signed with LIV GOLF to host a Championship Tournament in April, 2024. The event they had at Doral in October was a major success!” Trump said in a post on Truth Social, the social networking website he helped create in 2020 after he was banned from both Twitter and Facebook.
Obviously, this is pretty major news in the world of golf, and it led to a lot of reactions on social media as a result.

Several of Trump’s courses have been used for LIV Golf events since the Saudi-backed league began, with tournaments played at Trump National in Bedminster, New Jersey, Trump National Doral outside Miami, and at Trump National in Potomac Falls, Virginia. So this move isn’t necessarily a surprise.
