LIV Golf Miami: Everything you need to know
LIV Golf returns Stateside after its Asian tour, returning to the venue of the 2023 Team Championship – Miami!
The Blue Monster at Trump National Doral makes its return to professional golf, as LIV Golf goes back to Miami for the fifth event of the 2024 season.
LIV Golf is returning to the United States for the first time since Las Vegas, with the event being the perfect precursor to The Masters for some of those in the field.
The Blue Monster at Trump National Doral – a host of several World Golf Championships, PGA Tour and LIV Golf events in the past, will once again play host to LIV Golf Miami.
Some huge names have won at Doral in the past, with the likes of Tiger Woods, Adam Scott and Justin Rose winning the WGC-Cadillac Championship between 2009 and 2016.
LIV Golf CEO Greg Norman won the Doral Open on three occasions, most recently in 1996, while Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson and Patrick Reed – all current LIV Golf stars – have also tasted success at Doral.

Mention a European country, and Matt will tell you which resorts make the National Club Golfer Top 100s: European Resorts list. He might even throw in who designed the golf course and how many rooms the hotel has got at each one…
Matt got into the game of golf from a young age, following his old man to the local golf club. He fell for the sport, and now can’t seem to go a day without thinking about how to improve his game (Thanks Dad!). Matt has been a member of Howley Hall GC in Leeds since 2020, and is just about managing to maintain a single-figure handicap. He likes to remind people that he once broke 75, but won’t tell people that it was on a shortened course during the winter.
He moved to Leeds after graduating from the University of Central Lancashire with a First Class Honours degree in Sports Journalism. Matt joined NCG after almost five years travelling the world with the Professional Squash Association, working on events in all four corners of the globe.
Matt currently plays a Cobra King LTDx driver and RadSpeed 3-wood. TaylorMade monopolise the rest of his bag, with a SIM UDI, M5 irons and both Milled Grind and HI-TOE wedges, along with a Monza Redline putter. He uses a Vice Pro Plus golf ball, because he’s a bit different…
Away from golf, Matt is a Manchester United fan, and a keen runner, having ran the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon (his first and possibly last), in May 2023.
