Well, folks, it’s quite the day at the Cadillac Championship taking place at Trump National Doral! With the weather throwing a bit of a tantrum, the PGA Tour had no choice but to adjust the final round schedule. The excitement is palpable, as players are gearing up to hit the greens—albeit under slightly altered circumstances.
This morning, the final round was pushed back due to dangerous weather conditions. Originally slated for a traditional start, players will now tee off in threesomes from split tees, ensuring that they can finish their rounds before the worst of the weather rolls in. Tee times will range from 7:30 AM to 9:42 AM ET, and the Golf Channel is set to kick off their coverage at 9:30 AM ET. Just an hour after the first group hits the course, we’ll be glued to our screens to catch all the action!
The Final Round Lineup
The big names are ready to battle it out. Leading the charge is Cameron Young, who, let’s not forget, is currently sitting at 15 under par! With a solid round of 70 yesterday, he’s six strokes ahead of his closest competitors, Scottie Scheffler and Si Woo Kim. It’s worth mentioning that Young, who’s ranked fourth in the world, is chasing his second PGA Tour title this season, having already snagged the win at The Players Championship this past March.
In the penultimate group, we have Kristoffer Reitan, who’s at 9 under par. It’s shaping up to be an exhilarating day on the course! Here’s a sneak peek at the tee times:
- 7:30 AM EDT: Max Homa, Taylor Pendrith, Gary Woodland
- 7:42 AM EDT: Michael Thorbjornsen, Keegan Bradley, Pierceson Coody
- 8:06 AM EDT: Justin Thomas, Min Woo Lee, Chris Gotterup
- 9:30 AM EDT: Kristoffer Reitan, Ben Griffin, Matt McCarty
- 9:42 AM EDT: Cameron Young, Scottie Scheffler, Si Woo Kim
This event is quite the spectacle, being the fifth Signature Event of the PGA Tour season, boasting a whopping $20 million prize fund. The winner will take home a cool $3.6 million! And speaking of big names, it’s rumored that U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to attend the final round at his golf property. Now, that should add an interesting layer to the day!
A Bit of History
Now, let’s take a step back. The Cadillac Championship is making a significant return to Doral after nearly a decade away. It’s been a long time coming, and it feels like a homecoming of sorts. This tournament was once the centerpiece of the PGA Tour before it moved to Mexico in 2016. Some key players are missing from the roster this year—Rory McIlroy, Xander Schauffele, and Brooks Koepka, just to name a few—but the talent still shines bright with names like Scheffler, Morikawa, and Young in the mix.
With a few players opting to sit this one out in preparation for the upcoming events, the atmosphere is a little different, but that doesn’t diminish the excitement. As we gear up for the final round, the anticipation is building, and it’s all about who can hold their nerve under pressure!
