Return to Doral
This year’s event also brings a major storyline beyond the player list: the PGA Tour’s return to Trump National Doral. The tournament marks the 56th PGA Tour event played at the historic venue, renewing one of the longest-running relationships between a course and professional golf.
The famed Blue Monster course remains one of the most recognizable layouts in the sport. Its water-lined finishing stretch, especially holes 15, 16, and the demanding par-4 18th, has historically created dramatic finishes. Players who control their nerves late in the round often separate themselves quickly on this closing run.
Doral’s list of past champions adds even more weight to the week. Legends such as Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, Lee Trevino, and Nick Faldo have all won at the venue, reinforcing its reputation as a place where elite players rise to the top. Woods in particular dominated at Doral, winning four times in his career.
“We are pleased to welcome back Cadillac, a world-class brand whose partnership with the PGA Tour is synonymous with Trump National Doral, a legacy venue on our schedule,” Brian Rolapp, PGA Tour CEO, said. “We appreciate the support of Cadillac as we bring a new era of the PGA Tour to our fans in Miami.”
With a loaded field and a historic venue back in the spotlight, the Cadillac Championship has all the ingredients for a marquee week. Star power, course history, and championship pressure should combine to produce one of the most compelling tournaments on the 2026 calendar.
