The 2026 Cadillac Championship marks a return to one of professional golf\u2019s most storied venues, as the Blue Monster Course at Trump National Doral in Miami reclaims its place on the PGA Tour schedule as a $20 million Signature Event featuring an elite, limited field of the game\u2019s top players.<\/p>\n

First opened in 1962, the Blue Monster built its legacy by hosting the Doral Open and later the World Golf Championships\u2013Cadillac Championship from 2007\u20132016, becoming synonymous with dramatic finishes and major-caliber leaderboards. More recently, it hosted the final event of the inaugural LIV Golf Invitational Series in 2022 and a regular season event in each of the subsequent three seasons.<\/p>\n

Stretching over 7,700 yards as a par 72 following Gil Hanse\u2019s 2014 renovation, the course remains a demanding test defined by water hazards on numerous holes, thick Bermuda rough, and large, grainy green complexes.<\/p>\n

Success at Doral typically hinges on a blend of power and precision\u2014length off the tee to handle its long par-4s, controlled iron play into well-protected greens, and the ability to manage ever-present South Florida winds.<\/p>\n
