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
Cadillac Championship: Final-Round Tee Times Moved Up Due to Inclement Weather in Miami The PGA TOUR announced on Sunday that the final round of the Cadillac Championship at Trump National Doral’s Blue Monster Course in Miami has been rescheduled due to inclement weather. Following a two-hour delay caused by dangerous conditions, the final round is set to begin at 9:30 a.m. ET, with all tee times for the fourth round delayed two hours from their original starting times. The adjustment was made to ensure player safety amid the forecasted weather disruptions. The Cadillac Championship, which features a $20 million purse, has seen Cameron Young extend his lead to six strokes after a third-round 70. Young’s total of 15-under par places him at the top of the leaderboard. Behind him, a trio of players—Scottie Scheffler, Si Woo Kim, and Norway’s Kristoffer Reitan—remain in second place after posting 3-under 69s. Ben Griffin, Matt McCarty, and Nick Taylor are tied at 8-under par, maintaining their positions in the top tier of the competition. Television coverage for the final round has been adjusted to align with the rescheduled tee times. Golf Channel will broadcast coverage from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., while CBS and its affiliated platforms will provide tape-delayed coverage from 3 to 6 p.m. Additionally, CBS Sports App and CBSSports.com will simulcast with Golf Channel from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. ESPN+ will carry live coverage from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., offering four distinct streams for fans: the main feed, marquee group coverage, featured groups, and a Betcast presented by DraftKings. Special programming for the Cadillac Championship includes the PGA TOUR LIVE Betcast, which provides betting analysis and real-time updates throughout the week. The Betcast will be available on ESPN+ from 10:45 a.m.#miami #pga_tour #trump_national_doral #cadillac_championship #blue_monster_course
Cameron Young Maintains Six-Shot Lead at Cadillac Championship Amid Rain Forecast Cameron Young remains in control of the Cadillac Championship after posting a 2-under 70 in the third round, securing a 15-under total and a six-shot advantage over the field heading into the final round at Trump National Doral. The lead, which he built over the first two days, now faces potential challenges as heavy rain is expected to disrupt play on Sunday. Young’s performance Saturday included four birdies and two bogeys, keeping him ahead of a group featuring top-ranked player Scottie Scheffler, who trails by six strokes. The tournament’s final round has been rescheduled to start earlier than usual to avoid the worst of the weather, with players teeing off in threesomes between 7:30 a.m. and 9:40 a.m. The course, owned by former President Donald Trump, is set for significant rainfall, with forecasts predicting more than an inch of rain and heavy downpours in the afternoon. While Trump’s public appearance on Sunday remains uncertain, his presence at the course was anticipated prior to the schedule adjustment. Young’s position in the tournament is bolstered by his experience in high-pressure situations. He shared the lead through three rounds at the Masters in 2023, finishing tied for third after Rory McIlroy overtook him by two shots in the final round. McIlroy had a six-shot lead after two rounds but failed to hold it, a scenario Young acknowledges as a cautionary tale. “I don’t think there’s any reason to forget,” Young said. “But it won’t change really how I play, especially the front nine. I may be a hair more conservative in a place or two, but with the weather looking the way it does, that would be how I would be playing anyway.#rory_mcilroy #scottie_scheffler #cameron_young #trump_national_doral #masters_2023
