Why Did LIV Golf Pick Donald Trump-Owned Miami Fairways Over Jeddah for $50,000,000 Finale?

With the conclusion of LIV Golf Chicago at Rich Harvest Farms, the LIV schedule is looking forward to its next event, LIV Golf Jeddah, taking place at the Royal Greens Golf and Country Club in King Abdullah Economic City, Saudi Arabia, from October 13 to October 15. 

Previously Jeddah was supposed to host the $50 million Team Championship next week but there has been a sudden change. The Donald Trump-owned Trump National Doral Golf Club course, like last year, will host it again. Now, what could be the possible reason behind such a decision? 

LIV Golf picks Donald Trump’s course for the Team Championship

With the FedEx playoffs and the Ryder Cup over, the focus shifts to the Saudi-backed league and its last couple of events. Like its inaugural year, people are very keen to witness the pomp this league offers in the last two events. Besides, they have several offers in place for these events to attract the crowd.

Amid all these, there’s a question that has excited curiosity among fans. Why is the season finale back to Miami when Jeddah was supposed to host the event this time around?  The final event — the Team Championship — is taking place in Miami, USA, from October 20 to October 22. 

A strong reason behind the move appears to be the fact that the Miami event last year was the most attended event of the LIV season. This may have led to the organizers not changing the venue to Jeddah as was expected at the start of the season. 

Let’s now take a look at both the venues in Saudi Arabia and Miami and decide for ourselves which one is the best between the two.
