Cadillac Championship at Trump's Doral Reschedules Final Round Due to Rain The Cadillac Championship, the PGA Tour event held at Trump National Doral, has rescheduled its final round due to a forecast of rain and thunderstorms. The revised schedule, announced on May 2, 2026, moves the start time to 7:30 a.m., with golfers teeing off in threesomes from both the first and 10th tees. The leaders are set to begin their rounds at 9:40 a.m. Meteorological predictions indicate rain will move into the area around 5 a.m., with a 70 percent chance of thunderstorms by 8 a.m. The precipitation is expected to persist throughout the day and into the night. The decision to shift the start time aims to mitigate the impact of the weather while ensuring the tournament can proceed under safer conditions. The rescheduling may affect President Donald Trump’s plans to attend the event. Originally, Trump was expected to arrive at the course in the late afternoon. However, the new start time could conflict with his schedule. Temporary flight records show Trump is scheduled to arrive in Miami at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 2, and depart at 8:30 p.m. on May 3. This timeline suggests he may not be able to witness the final round as planned, as play will have already begun by the time he arrives. Trump’s itinerary for the week includes staying at Mar-a-Lago, his Palm Beach estate, on Friday, May 1, following a speaking engagement at the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts hosted by the Forum Club of the Palm Beaches. His absence from the course on Saturday and the early start of the final round may limit his ability to observe the event’s conclusion. The tournament’s schedule change highlights the impact of weather forecasts on major sporting events.#trump #pga_tour #mar_a_lago #trump_national_doral #cadillac_championship
2026 Cadillac Championship Prize Money Breakdown and Cameron Young's Victory The PGA Tour returned to South Florida for the inaugural edition of the Cadillac Championship, the newest signature event on the league's schedule. Held at the Blue Monster course, the event marked the first time the venue had hosted since the WGC-Cadillac Championship ended in 2016. The 7,739-yard course presented a significant challenge for players, with many of the world's top golfers aiming to secure a victory in the $20 million purse. Notable absences from the 72-man field included Rory McIlroy, Matt Fitzpatrick, Xander Schauffele, and Ludvig Åberg, creating opportunities for other players to capitalize on the more open competition. Cameron Young, who had previously won at The Players Championship, seized the chance to claim his second victory in four starts. Young maintained a six-shot lead over the final round, ultimately defeating world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler to secure the title. Young’s triumph earned him $3.6 million, while all players finishing T9 or better received at least $505,000. The top 36 finishers all surpassed six figures in their payouts, highlighting the financial incentive of securing a top-half finish in the event. The prize money structure was designed to reward both the winner and the broader field, with the total purse of $20 million distributed across 72 positions.#pga_tour #scottie_scheffler #cameron_young #cadillac_championship #blue_monster_course
