The Cadillac Championship Returns to Doral, Ten Years Late

Wed, 29 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The PGA Tour goes back to Doral on Thursday after a ten-year absence, and the tournament that opens at the Blue Monster bears almost no resemblance to the one that left it. The Cadillac Championship in its previous life was a World Golf Championship, the strongest field in regular-season golf, played by a hundred-or-so of the best players in the world for a purse that was generous by 2016 standards and looks quaint by 2026’s. The version that begins this week is a 72-player no-cut signature event, with a $20 million purse and 700 FedEx Cup points to the winner, on a course that Gil Hanse spent 2014 reworking and that has since hosted four LIV Golf seasons in the years the PGA Tour was somewhere else.
