LIV Golf's Controversial Move to Trump National Doral Sparks Turmoil

The LIV Golf League's season-ending team championship will be held at Trump National Doral Golf Club in Miami for the second consecutive year, with the tournament scheduled for October 20-22. Originally planned to take place in Saudi Arabia, the championship was moved back to Doral, where it was held in 2022. The Jeddah event will now serve as the final regular-season tournament. The team standings after the Jeddah tournament will determine the seeding for the team championship, with the top four teams receiving first-round byes. Dustin Johnson's 4Aces GC, last year's champions, currently lead the team standings, while Talor Gooch is the top-ranked individual player.
