Cameron Young Wins Cadillac Championship, Continues Red-Hot 2026

When it comes to picks for this signature event, I like to start with my favorite and long shot picks for the tournament. The favorite pick is the pick I like the most for an outright winner. For the long shot winner, that is a golfer who has over +2000 odds to win. It is a long shot pick for a reason, and finding those can be like finding a needle in a haystack.

Last week we nailed the winner, the Fitzpatrick brothers winning the Zurich Classic. Did we make it two in a row?

No.

Favorite: Scottie Scheffler (+310) - MISS

Scottie Scheffler had yet another Top 5 finish, finishing 2nd to Cameron Young, but it still feels like wins are on the horizon for Scheffler. With that said, there are still moments during his rounds where his game seems off. Something to track, but Scheffler will be sitting out the event this week before defending his PGA Championship title.

Long Shot: Chris Gotterup (+2800) - MISS

Gotterup had a T38 finish, and there is a reason he was considered a long shot pick for the event. Gotterup’s play has fallen off since two wins early in the season, but should still be a viable option for picks this season.

Top 5

• Collin Morikawa (+330) - MISS

Morikawa had played well since returning from his back injury suffered on Day 1 of the Players Championship, but his game sputtered on Thursday and Friday resulting in a T62 finish in this non-cut event.

• Scottie Scheffler (-148) - HIT

I’ve had my hesitations with Scheffler’s game as of late, but the man is always good for a Top 5 finish. Even though I prefer to give picks with plus-odds, I went with Scottie here and it still paid as we hit the Scheffler Top 5 pick.

Top 10

• Tommy Fleetwood (+176) - MISS

Fleetwood started off 2026 hot with a DP World Tour win, but he hasn’t been able to piece together the start to the season many predicted. Similar to Cameron Young, Fleetwood’s Tour Championship win was supposed to spawn more victories in the future. That hasn’t happened yet, and Fleetwood finished T23 at the Cadillac Championship, a far cry from Top 10.

• Cameron Young (+110) - HIT

In hindsight, I should have considered Young for a Top 5 finish, but I guess you could say I wasn’t a believer at the time. Well, I am now. Young cashes the +110 Top 10 finish, and gives us another win on the week.

Top 20

• Ben Griffin (+132) - HIT

I took Griffin as a Top 20 pick due to his improved play at the Zurich Classic last week, and the lean paid off with Griffin finishing 3rd in the Cadillac Championship. Griffin, who won three times on the tour last season, is starting to round into form once again. Expect him to be in future plays moving forward.

• Sepp Straka (+142) - HIT

My “gut” pick of the week played out as Straka finished T4. The Blue Monster sets up perfectly for Straka, and he started to look like the player who was as force in 2025.

Bonus Plays

For bonus plays, these are picks which I don’t necessarily hang my hat on, but still provide value for some who want more exotic plays outside of the aforementioned picks. Sometimes bonus plays are parlays, double chances, triple chances, and even some fun plays for that particular event.

Here were the Bonus plays for the 2026 Cadillac Championship:

Double Chance: Scottie Scheffler or Cameron Young (+220) - HIT

Young winning the event means this double chance bet played out in our favor at +220 odds.

Triple Chance: Scottie Scheffler or Collin Morikawa or Cameron Young (+180) - HIT

Young winning the event means this triple chance bet played out in our favor at +180 odds.

Top 20 Parlay: Scottie Scheffler, Cameron Young, Collin Morikawa (+210) - MISS

I felt pretty confident in this parlay heading into the tournament, but Morikawa’s bad tournament negated what could have been another pay day in the bonus plays.

Tournament Review:

Outright Plays: 4/8

Bonus Plays: 2/3
