Cadillac Championship 2026 Live: Leaderboard, Prize Money, Tee Times & How to Watch the PGA TOUR Showdown at Doral
• Hot Trendy News
The PGA Tour’s long-awaited return to Miami is delivering fireworks as the 2026 Cadillac Championship heads into Moving Day at Trump National Doral’s iconic Blue Monster course. With Cameron Young sprinting to a five-shot advantage at 13-under after 36 holes—and Jordan Spieth, Alex Smalley and Nick Taylor clustered at 8-under—the chase for a $3.6 million winner’s check is heating up fast.
Course comeback
The Cadillac Championship marks the Blue Monster’s first PGA Tour event since 2016, restoring a venue that has hosted 56 TOUR stops dating back to 1962. Gil Hanse and Jim Wagner’s 2014 renovation kept Dick Wilson’s menacing water lines intact, stretching the par-72 layout to 7,739 yards and reviving its trademark 18th-hole gauntlet—a 473-yard par 4 guarded by a lake the entire way.
Leaderboard snapshot (through 36 holes)
1. Cameron Young -13
T2. Alex Smalley -8
T2. Jordan Spieth -8
T2. Nick Taylor -8
5. Gary Woodland -7
T6. Brian Harman, Si Woo Kim, Alex Fitzpatrick, Taylor Pendrith, Scottie Scheffler, Kristoffer Reitan -6
Key storylines to watch today
• Young’s quest for a breakthrough: Ranked 18th in SG: Tee-to-Green this season, the former Wake Forest star is converting opportunities with a hot putter—98 feet of made putts on Friday alone.
• Spieth streaking again: The three-time major champ recorded his best opening 36 since 2023 thanks to a revamped pre-shot routine that has tightened his driving dispersion.
• Scheffler’s signature surge: At six back, the World No. 1 still lurks; he leads the field in SG: Off-the-Tee and has historically excelled on windy Florida tracks.
Money matters
As one of eight signature events in 2026, the Cadillac Championship boasts a $20 million purse. Every player in the 72-man, no-cut field is guaranteed a payday, but the champion will bank a life-changing $3.6 million.

Blue Monster facts for trivia buffs
• Scoring record: 19-under (Phil Mickelson 2009, Tiger Woods 2013).
• Average winning score (last 10 TOUR events at Doral): 15-under.
• Wind factor: Holes 15-18 play into the prevailing southeast breeze, producing the week’s highest bogey rate.
Saturday pin report & strategy
• No. 8 (par 5): Front-left pin just 4 yards from the water—expect more lay-ups.
• No. 14 (par 3): Back-center plateau forces a long-iron carry over the bunker, favoring high-ball strikers.
• No. 18 (par 4): Back-right location perches on a ledge only eight paces from the lake; anything long is dead.
Weather outlook
South Florida stays steamy: highs around 86 °F with a 12-mph easterly wind. Afternoon gusts could firm up the greens and reward early movers.
Stat to remember
The Blue Monster’s newly lengthened par-4 6th is playing 514 yards and ranks as the second-toughest hole on TOUR this season (4.42 scoring average).
Bottom line
If Young’s driver stays dialed, the 26-year-old could lift his first PGA Tour trophy. But with proven closers like Spieth and Scheffler stalking, Moving Day at the Cadillac Championship promises prime-time theatre—and that’s exactly what Miami’s rejuvenated Blue Monster was built to deliver.
