DORAL, Fla. — The PGA Tour returns after 10 years to Trump National Doral for a $20 million signature event, but a large gold statue of President Donald Trump is stealing the spotlight.
According to Golfweek, the statue stands 15 feet tall and was installed at the resort earlier this month ahead of the Cadillac Championship.
The outlet reports that the statue was created by artist Alan Cottrill and commissioned by a cryptocurrency group ($PATRIOT).

It depicts the president raising one fist into the air.
Five players from the top 15 in the world will be sitting out for the event. That includes Masters champion Rory McIlroy.
Adam Scott won the last PGA Tour event at Doral in 2016 when it was a World Golf Championship. Only nine other players from that WGC are in the field.
This is the latest start for the course owned by Trump. Doral hosted a LIV Golf event from 2022 through 2025.
