For the first time in a decade, PGA Tour golf returns to the Blue Monster at Trump National Doral. Many fans will recall Doral as a host of a World Golf Championship and, before that, a very popular regular Tour event.
To recapture some of those vibes, the return this year got signature event status, with the $20 million purse and no-cut golf for the game’s best.
But not all the best will be in Miami.
The Cadillac Championship field is a story in itself already, given that Masters champion Rory McIlroy is opting to sit out (he also missed the signature RBC Heritage after the Masters) and four more top-15 players are skipping the tournament: world No. 3 Matt Fitzpatrick (though brother Alex is thanks to the Zurich win), No. 9 Xander Schauffele, No. 12 Bob MacIntyre and No. 14 Ludvig Åberg.
World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler is playing, though, likely for the last time before his PGA Championship title defense. The season’s second major is just two weeks away.
The Blue Monster course at Doral is a notorious brute, with water all over its 7,739 yards (hence the nickname). When the south Florida winds kick up, it can be a handful.
