After hosting one LIV Golf event at his Bedminster course, as well as the LIV Golf Team Championship finale heading to Trump National Doral in Miami, it appears that former US President, Donald Trump, is potentially set to host another LIV Golf tournament in 2023.
Recently, it was announced by the Saudi-backed series that the LIV Golf Invitational Series will become the LIV Golf League from 2023, with 48 players and 12 established team franchises competing in an expanded 14-tournament schedule – and an enormous $405m total prize purse. With this increase, there is going to be more venues needed, with another Trump layout set to join the calendar.
