After a ten-year absence, the PGA Tour is heading back to Trump National Doral in Miami this week for the inaugural Cadillac Championship, though “inaugural” is a word that deserves an asterisk. Cadillac was also the title sponsor the last time Doral hosted a Tour event back in 2016, when it was branded as the WGC-Cadillac Championship.
The reunion with one of Florida’s most storied layouts is significant, as the event has been elevated to signature status and features a hefty $20 million purse. The Blue Monster, a 7,739-yard test of nerve and ball-striking designed by Dick Wilson in 1962, was a fixture on the PGA Tour calendar for over five decades, hosting events annually from 1962 through 2016.
Wilson’s creation set the template for modern South Florida golf, featuring countless lakes, deep bunkers, and greens elevated above the fairways to demand precise aerial approaches. It’s a course that punishes mistakes and rewards players who can manage the wind.
This week’s field is loaded with marquee names ready to take on the challenge. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler leads the charge alongside Cameron Young and Justin Rose. Also in contention are Collin Morikawa, Tommy Fleetwood, Russell Henley, Hideki Matsuyama, J.J. Spaun, Chris Gotterup, Sepp Straka, and Zurich Classic champion Alex Fitzpatrick, among others.
The last man to conquer the Blue Monster was Adam Scott, who edged Bubba Watson by a single stroke at the 2016 WGC-Cadillac Championship. Scott returns to Doral this week carrying fond memories of the place.
“It’s great to be back here,” Scott said on Tuesday. “Good memories for me. Obviously, winning the last time we were here, but always enjoyed playing this golf course. It’s a challenge. It’s called the Blue Monster for a reason. It’s a big, very penal golf course. The wind can blow, and that’s the biggest challenge out here.
So you’ve got to strike it well, just demanding tee-to-green. It’s great that we’re back, and looking forward to this week.” Whoever claims the title this week will pocket $3.6 million and collect 700 FedEx Cup points, a massive haul that could shake up the season standings significantly. Television coverage runs Thursday through Sunday on Golf Channel, CBS, and Paramount+, with full streaming available on ESPN+.
