The PGA Tour is preparing for a return to Doral, a venue which hasn’t been on the tour schedule since 2016, and this time it is for another signature event on the tour schedule.
This event is the Cadillac Championship, and it is comes on the heels of the Zurich Classic last week, a team event which was won by the Fitzpatrick brothers. Nonetheless, this event will have some of the biggest names in the game in the field, and the Blue Monster course, a Par 72 course totaling 7,739 yards, will test even the game’s best players.
Before taking a look at the odds for the next tournament on the PGA Tour schedule, it is time to take a look at past champions at this tournament.
As stated earlier, the tour hasn’t been to Doral since 2016 when the tournament was the WGC Championship. That tournament was won by Adam Scott.
Without being able to lean on golfers who have a tremendous amount of experience at the venue, it is time to take a look at the latest odds for the Cadillac Championship.
When it comes to picks for this signature event, I like to start with my favorite and long shot picks for the tournament. The favorite pick is the pick I like the most for an outright winner. For the long shot winner, that is a golfer who has over +2000 odds to win. It is a long shot pick for a reason, and finding those can be like finding a needle in a haystack.
Last week we nailed the winner, the Fitzpatrick brothers winning the Zurich Classic. Can we make it two in a row?
Here are my favorite and long shot picks for the Cadillac Championship:
Favorite: Scottie Scheffler (+310)
Long Shot: Chris Gotterup (+2800)
Some might suggest taking Scheffler in any field is too easy, but why turn away easy money if it’s right in front of you. Big name players like Rory McIlroy and Xander Schauffele are skipping this event, which thins the field even more. All of this, combined with Scheffler’s improved play since the start of the season, makes the selection of Scheffler even more obvious. He only has one win on the season, but some might say he’s due.
As for the long shot play, Gotterup is a strong candidate with those odds. Gotterup is a multiple time winner in 2026 on tour, and has proven distance isn’t a problem. Gotterup’s biggest hinderance is consistency as of late, so maybe we can catch lightning in a bottle.
The next step are the Top 5, Top 10, and Top 20 plays for the upcoming tournament. I provide two picks in each category, in hopes of maximizing our return.
When Scheffler hasn’t won this season, he’s finished near the top of the leaderboard. The last time he was in the field he lost in a playoff to Matt Fitzpatrick at the RBC Heritage. Scheffler being a Top 5 finish, even with negative odds, isn’t a bad play. Never a bad idea to hedge the outright winner bet.
Morikawa has come back from his back injury at the Players Championship well, and has had some strong showings since he came back from said injury. Morikawa is built for events like this, and I don’t think a Top 5 finish with those odds is a bad play at all.
Fleetwood’s game hasn’t been as sharp this season as it was at the end of last season when he won the Tour Championship, but he is the type of player who improves as the season progresses. Fleetwood is coming off a T33 finish at the Masters and a T52 at the RBC Heritage. A week off and hopefully he can return to the top of the leaderboard.
Cameron Young has had arguably the best season of his career. He won the Players Championship in dramatic fashion, and a T3 finish at the Masters. The RBC Heritage wasn’t as kind to him with a T25 finish, but the odds are showing Young is still one of the hottest golfers on the tour right now.
Griffin won three times on tour last season, but his struggles have been well-documented in 2026. After three straight missed cuts he has finished T28, T33, and T33 in the last three tournaments. He and Andrew Novak played well in the Zurich Classic last week, and the hope is Griffin is slowly turning the corner to his 2025 form.
Sepp Straka, like Griffin, hasn’t had the best season to date. Since his T8 finish at the Players Championship, he has had a missed cut followed by T41 and T42 finishes. Not exactly confidence boosters, but Doral is built for a player like Straka. Long and accurate off the tee, with a short game to match. This might be a “gut” play, but I think Straka might get into the Top 20 category.
For bonus plays, these are picks which I don’t necessarily hang my hat on, but still provide value for some who want more exotic plays outside of the aforementioned picks. Sometimes bonus plays are parlays, double chances, triple chances, and even some fun plays for that particular event.
Here are the Bonus plays for the 2026 Cadillac Championship:
Double Chance: Scottie Scheffler or Cameron Young (+220)
Triple Chance: Scottie Scheffler or Collin Morikawa or Cameron Young (+180)
Top 20 Parlay: Scottie Scheffler, Cameron Young, Collin Morikawa (+210)
