The PGA Tour is back in South Florida, and the stakes have never been higher. The inaugural Cadillac Championship has taken over the legendary Blue Monster course at Doral—a venue that hasn't hosted a Tour event since the WGC-Cadillac Championship wrapped up in 2016. Stretching a daunting 7,739 yards, this layout is one of the longest players will face all season, demanding power, precision, and plenty of grit.
This isn't just a homecoming; it's a signature event with a $20 million purse, making every shot count. With three big-money tournaments squeezed between the Masters and the PGA Championship, the field has some notable gaps. Stars like Rory McIlroy, Matt Fitzpatrick, Xander Schauffele, and Ludvig Åberg are sitting this one out, opening the door for the remaining 72 competitors to make a serious move—both on the leaderboard and at the bank.
Names like Scottie Scheffler, Cameron Young, Tommy Fleetwood, Collin Morikawa, Russell Henley, Justin Rose, Viktor Hovland, and Justin Thomas have all teed it up this week, eager to grab a win that could fuel momentum heading into the season's second major. As of the final round, Young holds a commanding six-shot lead, with Scheffler lurking in a tie for second alongside Min Woo Lee. The pressure is on, and the payoff is massive.
The winner on Sunday will walk away with a cool $3.6 million. But the riches don't stop there. Anyone finishing in the top 10 will pocket at least $545,000, while the top 36 all earn six-figure paychecks. That's a life-changing sum for four days of work, even for those just inside the top half of the field.
