The 2026 Cadillac Championship purse is set for $20 million, with the winner's share coming in at $3,600,000 -- more than the standard 18 percent payout according to the PGA Tour's prize money distribution chart.

The 2026 Cadillac Championship field is headed by Scottie Scheffler, Cameron Young, Collin Morikawa and more of the world's best players.

The 72-player field competes in the latest Signature event, with a new tournament at Doral for the first time in a decade.

A cut is not made after 36 holes to the top 50 players and ties. All players who finish four rounds of the tournament will earn money.

The prize-money payout is typically based on exactly 65 players making the cut and finishing the tournament. When more than 65 pros make the cut, the purse is increased to make sure every player is paid.

The event is played this year at Trump National Doral's Blue Monster Course in Doral, Florida.

This is the 17th PGA Tour event of the 2026 PGA Tour schedule.

What else is on the line: FedEx Cup points, OWGR points, exemptions

Beyond money, there are important points, perks and benefits on the line for the field -- in particular, the tournament winner.

The winner of Cadillac Championship event earns 700 FedEx Cup points, as will be the case for Signature events. The winner gets 61 Official World Golf Ranking points, with the points available based on field strength.

The champion will enjoy the benefits of winning PGA Tour event, including a two-year exemption on the PGA Tour and an exemption into the Masters, the PGA Championship and The Players.

The PGA Tour may have too many Signature tournaments in too short of a time span. How does the Tour fix it?

Too many Signatures, not enough time

The PGA Tour has another Signature event this week, with the Cadillac Championship played at Trump National Doral’s Blue Monster in Florida. This is the second post-Masters Signature event, with the first coming the week after Augusta National at the RBC Heritage in South Carolina. There’s another Signature event next week as well, with the Truist Championship in Charlotte being the appetizer before the PGA Championship at Aronimink in the Philadelphia area.

That’s three Signature events in four weeks. The best players in the world don’t like to compete that often — particularly between majors. Now, there’s a little bit of backlash.

Rory McIlroy isn’t playing this week, and he didn’t play at Harbour Town either. He’s playing at Quail Hollow next week, a venue he loves and at which he’s won several times.

Scottie Scheffler played Hilton Head and lost in a playoff to Matt Fitzpatrick, who isn’t playing this week either after winning the Zurich Classic of New Orleans with his brother Alex (who is playing this week). He won’t play Quail Hollow to rest up for his Wanamaker defense in Pennsylvania.

Among the other top players skipping this week are Xander Schauffele, Ludvig Aberg and Robert MacIntyre. A full quarter of the world top 20 aren’t at Doral. Some will interpret this as a political statement, and I can’t tell you either way if that has anything to do with it. The more likely explanation is that the PGA Tour has jammed too many Signature events into this time period.

There’s one Signature event in January (The Sentry, though that could change). There are two in February at Pebble Beach and Riviera. There’s one in March at Bay Hill. There are two in April, with another one right after them to start May. There are two in June, with a little break after Memorial for the US Open before the Travelers the following week keeps the Tour in the northeastern US. July is the letdown month, with no Signature events, and then August is go, go, go with the FedEx Cup playoffs.

Players have to find a schedule that works for them, and they’re going to adjust to the concentration of Signature events by skipping some of them. With nine scheduled Signature events, the four majors, The Players and anticipating playing in three playoff events, a top player is looking at 17 starts. Most like to get to that 22-event range in a year, leaving little time for other events outside the scope.

The Tour is certainly considering this when they look at the future PGA Tour schedule. However, they’ve already nixed the Hawaii events, and they’ll move The Sentry to the mainland — perhaps by a month. That change alone creates a seven-month schedule for top players, who play at least 17 times in 26 weeks for players who compete in every available amazing opportunity for them.

Yes, anyone complaining about that looks aloof, but they can be tired just like any one of us. If the Tour wants a better flow to the schedule, they should seriously consider moving The Players back to May and working with the PGA of America to bring the PGA Championship back to August to effectively end the season. Bringing back Glory’s Last Shot as the true finale to the season — post FedEx Cup playoffs, which could move into July and early August — would make a lot more sense. It gives room for Signature events in March beyond Bay Hill and creates a better flow to the year.

The 2026 Riviera Maya Open at Mayakoba format remains unchanged from last year's event, with the event being played at El Camaleon Golf Course in Playa del Carmen, Mexico.

The 2026 Riviera Maya Open at Mayakoba field is 132 players. The field is made up of LPGA Tour players, including 12 of the world top 50.

Riviera Maya Open at Mayakoba format

The Riviera Maya Open at Mayakoba format is a 72-hole event. The field is divided into morning and afternoon waves for the first two rounds, with players competing in threesomes each day. The same threesomes play together in each of the first two rounds, starting on the first and 10th tees. There's one round in the morning wave and one round in the afternoon wave.

A cut is made after 36 holes to the top 65 players and ties. The tourament runs from Thursday through Sunday.

For the third and fourth rounds, pairings and tee times are made based on each player's total score through two and three rounds, respectively. Players with the highest total score go first, then in descending order until the two players with the lowest total score in the final group.

The player with the lowest total score after 72 holes is the winner and earns the winner's share of the $2.5 million purse.

A playoff to settle any ties after 72 holes will be played under LPGA Tour rules. The Riviera Maya Open at Mayakoba playoff format is a sudden-death format, with playoff holes being 18 played again and again by any qualifying players. The players compete hole-by-hole until a winner is determined by a player scoring the lowest among the remaining players.

The winning player will get a two-year LPGA Tour exemption and earn the 15 percent winner's share of the purse. The winner gets a two-year LPGA Tour exemption. The winner earns 500 Race to the CME Globe points.

The 2026 Riviera Maya Open at Mayakoba purse is set for $2.5 million, with the winner's share coming in at $375,000 -- the standard 15 percent payout according to the LPGA Tour's prize money distribution chart.

The Riviera Maya Open at Mayakoba field is headed by Nelly Korda, Chizzy and Akie Iwai and more.

This is the 10th event of the 2026 LPGA Tour schedule, with the LPGA having their Mexico event. This is a 72-hole event wit a cut to the top 65 and ties after 36 holes. There are 132 players in the field.

The event is played this year at El Camaleon Golf Course at Mayakoba Resort in Playa del Carmen, Mexico.

What else is on the line: Race to the CME Globe points, WWGR points, exemptions

Beyond money, there are important points, perks and benefits on the line for the field -- in particular, the tournament winner.

The winner of this tournament earns 500 Race to the CME Globe points and Rolex Women's World Golf Ranking points.

The top 60 players in the standings at the end of The Annika in November got into the season-ending CME Group Tour Championship. The winner of that tournament wins the Race to the CME Globe and a $4 million first-place prize.

Winning comes with other big benefits, including a five-year exemption on the LPGA Tour, as well berths into other big tournaments.

You might be heading down toward Miami, and you might want to play some golf while you're down there. When you think Miami-area golf, Trump National Doral and the Blue Monster comes to mind, particularly as the course hosts the PGA Tour's Cadillac Championship.

While it's at least a half-hour drive from Miami proper, Donald Trump's Trump Doral resort is an ideal place for a well-off golfer. From the Gil Hanse-redesigned Blue Monster to the three other course on the resort property, there is no shortage of golf at Trump's resort.

So how does Trump Doral compare to other golf Meccas in terms of price? How much does it cost to play golf at Trump Doral -- specifically the Blue Monster?

It's not cheap to play golf at Trump Doral, particularly the Blue Monster. The green fees in 2026 are a minimum $566 per round, at least through April 30. Rates can run as high as $714 per person, per round.

That fee includes carts and taxes, but it doesn't include the mandatory forecaddie (or better) that you are required to have. At a minimum the forecaddie costs $25 per player with a recommended $20 gratuity. You can get a premium forecaddie for $75 per player. Double-bag caddies run the same rate, while a single-bag caddie goes for $125 for the round.

That green fee may be a little steep. There are three other courses -- Red, Gold and Silver -- to choose from, all of which aren't exactly cheap either. The Red and Gold courses cost $260 per round, with the Silver course green fee at $225. These are all dynamic green fees, meaning prices change based on time of day, day of the week and current demand.

Staying at Trump Doral as a hotel guest, however, isn't particularly outrageous. Rates for a Deluxe Room with a king bed in a 343-square-foot room start at $400 per night. A Premier Suite runs about $500 per night. The Presidential Suite, though? That's about $10,000 per night -- and, at that point, the Blue Monster green fee is nothing on your wallet.

There are packages, as well, that can lock in a round of golf at the Blue Monster and a hotel round for a better rate for each.

After debuting the concept in 2023, the PGA Tour has solidifed the idea of Signature events for the 2026 PGA Tour season, which will run from January through the end of August as part of a calendar-year cadence.

There will be nine PGA Tour Signature events in 2026: The Sentry, AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, The Genesis Invitational, Arnold Palmer Invitational, RBC Heritage, Cadillac Championship, Truist Championship, the Memorial Tournament and Travelers Championship. (Ultimately, The Sentry was not played in 2026.)

The majors, The Players and the FedEx Cup playoff events are not considered Signature events, and they'll stand on their own as huge tournaments on the PGA Tour schedule. They have their own qualifying criteria that will not be determined largely by the prior year's FedEx Cup standings. (Though the top 30 in the prior year FedEx Cup effectively get in all four majors and The Players, and the top 70 who get into the playoffs get into The Players.)

The field for each of the eight Signature events will largely be determined by the top 50 finishers in the 2026 FedEx Cup final standings. Every player who qualified for the second stage of the playoffs at the BMW Championship will be in every Signature event.

Five of those Signature events will not have a cut, while The Genesis Invitational, Arnold Palmer Invitational and the Memorial Tournament will all have a 36-hole cut to the top 50 players and ties. Those three player-hosted Signature events also award 20 percent of the total purse to the champion, meaning the winner gets $4 million for first place instead of $3.6 million at the Signature events outside of The Sentry.

Beyond the top 50 in the FedEx Cup from the prior year, there will be other ways to get in the field based on the current season and the most recent string of events prior to the next Signature event.

In 2026, the Signature events, outside of The Sentry, all have a minimum field size of 72 players. If necessary to reach that minimum number, the Tour will go down the Aon Next 10 standings -- which is the top 10 players in the current-season FedEx Cup standings not already exempt into a Signature event -- to add players to the field.

Also new is an exemption for any player with at least 80 PGA Tour wins. There's only one: Tiger Woods.

Who qualifies for the PGA Tour Signature events

• The top 50 players from the previous year’s FedEx Cup points list
• The top 10 players not otherwise eligible using the current FedEx Cup standings in the week prior to the Signature event
• The top five players not otherwise eligible earning the most FedEx Cup points between Signature events
• PGA Tour members in the top 30 Official World Golf Ranking
• Current year PGA Tour winners with at least 500 FedEx Cup points to the champion, not otherwise eligible through the above criteria
• All events (excluding The Sentry) have four sponsor exemptions available to them to add to the field
• Tiger Woods, or any player with at least 80 PGA Tour wins
• One-player special exemptions for The Genesis Invitational, Arnold Palmer Invitational and the Memorial Tournament
• Aon Next 10 standings to reach the field minimum

Beyond money, there are important points, perks and benefits on the line for the field -- in particular, the tournament winner.

The money earned this week counts toward the Charles Schwab Cup points list. Each dollar earned translates into one point in the regular season. The top 72 players get into the first leg.

At the end of the season in 2026, the top five players in the final standings are paid part of the $2.1 million bonus pool (all as annuities), based on the points standings.

President Donald Trump interrupted his own speech during a state dinner honoring Great Britain's King Charles III to praise Rory McIlroy's 2026 Masters win.

McIlroy was in attendance at the dinner in Washington, D.C., as Trump segued off-topic, triggered by the phrase "unconquerable courage."

"This unconquerable courage. It really is unconquerable," Trump said, before looking up from the remarks to find the back-to-back Masters champion. "And speaking of unconquerable, where's Rory McIlroy? Stand up, Rory, will you?"

McIlroy stood as Trump continued, "That was unconquerable courage. That was very good, Rory."

The assembled guests applauded the fourth man to ever win consecutive Masters titles.

"I don't know if that helps them talk about how wonderful this speech, but I had to interrupt my speech because I watched that man win a tournament that was tough. That was a tough one. Congratulations. Very proud of you. Alright, now I'll get back to my speech, Rory."

The crowd laughed at the President's self-interjection.

Interestingly enough, McIlroy is not playing this week's PGA Tour event at Trump National Doral Resort's Blue Monster Course in Doral, Florida. He attended this, and he'll play next week's Signature event -- with a $20 million purse, the same as this week's debuting event -- in Charlotte, North Carolina, at the Truist Championship.

McIlroy has won at host Quail Hollow several times, and he also skipped the post-Masters Signature event, the RBC Heritage in South Carolina, in seeking to optimize his schedule ahead of the next major championship, which is the PGA Championship in two weeks at Aronimink Golf Club outside of Philadelphia.

Welcome to my weekly fantasy golf model for the 2026 Cadillac Championship!

Since March 2020, I've shared a weekly model which offers a clear-cut ranking system based on data points weighted in a formula. It's been a tremendous success. Winners typically rank inside the top 15 of our model, though, like any model, sometimes there are outlier champions.

Let me walk you through this week's results and how I get to them. You'll see our top 10 for free, and the rest of the model, including potential sleepers and value picks, is available for GNN members.

How the rubric works

The biggest chunk of my rubric relies on strokes gained, as well our derivative, Quality Strokes Gained, which weights a player's strokes gained against the depth of field they face. The rubric looks at this data over the longer term and medium term to derive a player's quality across the tour and across different fields. I include specific weighting of strokes gained and Quality Strokes Gained against the field strength that week, creating a range of comparison to see how players do against particular competition.

Next, the rubric accounts for two factors I look at every week: current form in the last 10 PGA Tour events played and their average strokes gained on the host course in the last three years.

All told, the model is designed to point out quality players and boost those middling players who have good current form or good course history.

While I think a long-term view of a player's performance is the best way to measure their potential, there's no doubt that short-term heaters happen. To that end, for GNN members, I also have a short-term model that compares a player's performance to his peers over the last 10 PGA Tour events.
