Inside LIV Golf’s Toughest Test Trump National Doral Miami’s Blue Monster

Trump National Doral Miami, opened back in 1962, has long been one of those special places where golf history meets sun-soaked Florida charm—and these days, it’s becoming something of a playground for LIV Golf fans hungry for a new kind of golfing drama.

This legendary resort boasts four championship courses and enough plush comforts to spoil even the most demanding golf fan, but let’s be honest—it’s the Blue Monster that steals the show.

At 7,500 yards, this beast is loaded with devilish bunkers, greens that roll like they’re angry with you, and an infamous water hazard on 18 that’s claimed more hopes and dreams than a Florida hurricane. It’ll leave even seasoned pros quietly questioning their life choices.

Over the decades, the Blue Monster has hosted celebrated PGA Tour events like the Doral Open and the WGC-Cadillac Championship.

Nowadays, though, it’s the perfect stage for LIV Golf’s forward-thinking approach to competition.

Trump National Doral Miami rolled out the welcome mat for the LIV Golf Team Championship back in October 2023, and—brace yourselves, golf fans—they’re gearing up to do it all over again from April 4–6, 2025.

Anticipate a thrilling combination of match play and stroke play that will crown the team champions and likely cause some tension in the process.

For those who love to dissect golf course architecture—or just tune in to see a new generation of professionals battle it out—the Blue Monster dishes out a challenge worthy of a global spotlight.

Professional golfer Brooks Koepka once called it a “big boy course”, and you can see why when you stand on the 18th tee, staring down that menacing water hazard.

But if you’re looking for variety, Trump National Doral’s other tracks—the Golden Palm, Red Tiger, and Silver Fox—each have their own quirks and thrills.

Just about eight miles (13 kilometres) from Miami International Airport, Trump National Doral Miami offers convenience as well as top-tier golfing.

On-site lodging caters to every comfort, and visitors can also check out the nearby hotels if they’re staying beyond tournament weekend.

With its storied past, ever-evolving role in the pro golf scene, and a lineup of challenges to satisfy any serious golfer, the resort stands as a thrilling testament to how the sport continues to reinvent itself—much like LIV Golf itself.
