The PGA Tour returns to its regularly scheduled programming this week with the Cadillac Championship from Trump National Doral’s Blue Monster course.
There are plenty of juicy storylines leading up to the fifth Signature Event of the season, so let’s break them down.
The PGA Tour returns to Trump Doral
After a 10-year break from PGA Tour action, the Blue Monster course at Trump National Doral is back on the schedule and ready to host the best players in the world. Trump Doral last hosted a PGA Tour event, the WGC-Cadillac Championship, in 2016. It also hosted LIV Golf Miami in 2024 and 2025.
As the name suggests, the Blue Monster is an enormous, difficult golf course that can play as long as 7,700 yards. The last six winners here (Marc Leishman, Dean Burmester, Adam Scott, Dustin Johnson, Patrick Reed and Tiger Woods) were all bombers at the time of their victories. If you can’t bomb it off the tee and hit your long irons well, you probably have no chance this week.
Even though the Cadillac Championship is a Signature Event on the 2026 PGA Tour schedule, numerous stars have chosen to skip the tournament. McIlroy, Aberg, Xander Schauffele and Matt Fitzpatrick are all taking the week off as they prepare for the PGA Championship in two weeks.
