Adam Scott Returns as Cadillac Championship 2026 Revisits Doral
cadillac championship 2026 returns this week to Trump National Doral’s Blue Monster Course after a nine-year hiatus, putting the PGA TOUR back on one of its longest and most exacting setups. The fifth Signature Event of the season brings 72 entrants and no cut, so everyone in the field has four rounds to deal with the same 7,739-yard par 72.
Adam Scott at Doral
Adam Scott is in the field for the first event’s return to the venue. He won the 2016 edition by one stroke, posting 12-under 276 at Trump National Doral.
That win gives this week a direct link to the last time the Blue Monster hosted a strong field. In that 2016 event, the field averaged 72.854, a number that fits the course’s reputation for demanding tee shots and precise approaches.
Blue Monster Yardage
The course now measures 7,739 yards, 141 yards longer than it was when it last hosted a strong field. The par-5 12th plays at 667 yards, while the par-3 fourth remains 227 yards.
Two features stand out immediately for players trying to manage the week. The Bermuda rough is governed to three inches, and the greens are expected to roll 12 feet on the Stimpmeter. The par-4 18th was the hardest hole on the course in previous visits, adding another sharp finish to a layout that does not offer many easy stretches.
72-Player Signature Event
The structure leaves no margin for a slow start. With 72 entrants and no cut, the full field stays in play for all four rounds, which means one bad day cannot send anyone home early.
That format puts pressure on every score from the first tee shot to the last putt. Scott’s return gives the week a familiar reference point, but the course setup is different enough to make the Blue Monster feel like a fresh test even for players who remember the 2016 finish.
