The PGA Tour will return to an iconic venue this coming week, with the Cadillac Championship being held on the Blue Monster course at Doral after a decade away.

The Cadillac Championship is the next signature event on the PGA Tour schedule. And it will be played on a course that certainly tests the world’s best players.

Interestingly, the Blue Monster has recently hosted a handful of LIV Golf events since the last time it appeared on the PGA Tour calendar.

What Bryson DeChambeau said about the Blue Monster at Doral last year

During the 2025 season, it was selected as the course to host the final LIV event before The Masters. On that occasion, Marc Leishman emerged victorious.

Bryson DeChambeau was actually two shots clear going into the final round in Miami.

Ahead of the tournament starting, DeChambeau explained what players have to do well if they want to contend at Doral.

“The Blue Monster, you’ve just got to have pretty much every part of your game working well. It’s not only just driving, you’ve got to iron play it well. It can get windy out here. There’s water all around the greens, on the par threes, so you’ve got to be a good ball striker around here to play well. It’s a good test going into the Masters,” he said.

“There’s a few holes out there that are difficult, but like I said earlier, it’s just about learning a little bit more each time you hit certain shots and experience a different wind off a different lie. It’s tricky out there. You’ve got to really focus on where you’re placing that ball strategically out there on the golf course. It’s a brilliant design that plays differently almost every single time you go out there.”
