Scottie Scheffler is wasting no time getting familiar with the Blue Monster Course at Trump National Doral, the challenging venue for this week's Cadillac Championship. As the next Signature Event on the PGA Tour, the tournament in Miami boasts a hefty $20 million purse, and the world number one is already making a statement in practice.

Scheffler, who enters the event on the heels of two consecutive runner-up finishes—including a second-place showing at The Masters and a playoff loss at the RBC Heritage—took on the back nine of the formidable course with impressive results. TaylorMade captured the action, sharing footage on X of the superstar carding a bogey-free three-under 33. That's six pars and three birdies, making the daunting layout look almost effortless.

Momentum is clearly on Scheffler's side. He's made the cut in all eight of his starts this season, including a win at The American Express in his first outing. Paired with fellow American Cameron Young for the first two rounds, Scheffler will look to carry that practice-round form into a tournament that features no cut—meaning every shot counts.

But the Blue Monster is no pushover. At 7,739 yards and playing as a par-72, it's a beast of a course that one-time PGA Tour winner Michael Kim knows all too well. "Yo Doral Blue Monster is a freaking hard course," Kim posted on X, adding, "Makes me think PGA National on steroids with all Bermuda." The course, part of the Doral Resort purchased by US President Donald Trump in 2012 for $150 million, is known for its demanding layout and tricky Bermuda grass.

While practice rounds offer less pressure than tournament play, Scheffler's bogey-free back nine is a promising sign. Whether he can replicate that success when the stakes are highest remains to be seen, but for now, the world number one looks ready to tame the Blue Monster.
