The PGA Tour is heading back to Trump National Doral this weekend, and with it comes the return of a familiar face—President Donald Trump. Not only will he be present for the first time at a Tour event on his own course since 2016, but he'll also get a front-row look at his newest addition: a towering 15-foot statue nicknamed the "Don Colossus."
The action unfolds at the Cadillac Championship, which tees off Sunday, May 3, for the final round. This marks the first PGA Tour stop at a Trump-owned property since the WGC-Cadillac Championship was played at Doral nearly a decade ago. Temporary flight restrictions confirm Trump's arrival in Miami at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 2, with a departure set for 8:30 p.m. on Sunday. When he's in the area, the president typically stays at his resort—the very spot where that eye-catching statue now stands.
Speaking of the statue, it's hard to miss. Weighing in at 3.1 tons and coated in gold leaf, the bronze monument sits just off the walkway between the first tee and the driving range. It's a bold centerpiece that perfectly captures the grandeur of the property.
Trump's weekend itinerary also includes a stop in West Palm Beach on Friday, May 1, after a speaking engagement earlier in the day at The Villages near Orlando. He's scheduled to address the Forum Club of the Palm Beaches at the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts from 6:15 p.m. to 8 p.m.
This return to a PGA Tour event is a notable shift from the past few years. Trump last attended a Tour event in 2016 at Doral, before the WGC-Cadillac Championship relocated to Mexico after Cadillac dropped its title sponsorship. That move sparked a nearly decade-long rift between Trump and the PGA Tour—a feud that only intensified when LIV Golf emerged and began hosting events at his courses. Doral hosted LIV's team championship in 2022, with Trump playing in the pro-am and later criticizing Tour leadership while urging players to take LIV's lucrative offers.
Trump's most recent appearance at Doral came in April 2025 for LIV's final event at the course, where he arrived by helicopter and landed near the ninth green. Now, with the PGA Tour back in the mix, all eyes are on whether this weekend marks a new chapter—or just another swing in the ongoing drama between golf's biggest names and its most controversial course owner.
