Cadillac Championship at Doral (Blue Monster)
The Cadillac Championship is one of the premier stops on the PGA Tour, played annually at the legendary Blue Monster course at Trump National Doral in Miami, Florida. Designed by Dick Wilson, the Blue Monster is a stern test of power and precision, with water hazards lurking on numerous holes and a demanding closing stretch.
The course features long, demanding par-4s, challenging water carries, and fast Bermuda greens. The famous 18th hole — a 473-yard par-4 with water all down the left side and guarding the green — provides one of the most dramatic finishing holes on the PGA Tour.
Since its debut in 1962, the Cadillac Championship (formerly Doral Open) has produced memorable champions, cementing its status as a signature event where the world's best players are tested to the limit.
🏌️ Doral (Blue Monster) Course Overview
Trump National Doral's Blue Monster is a classic Dick Wilson design — a long, demanding layout with water in play on half the holes and large, undulating Bermuda greens that require precise approach shots.
Quick Course Overview
The Cadillac Championship is contested on the famous Blue Monster, one of the PGA Tour's most iconic tests. Length off the tee is an advantage, but accuracy is essential to avoid water hazards and difficult recovery shots. The course's difficulty is amplified by Miami's windy conditions and the demanding closing holes.
Course Type / Conditions
- Classic Dick Wilson Florida design
- Long, open layout with water hazards on 9 holes
- Large, undulating Bermuda greens that run fast
- Coastal winds can affect club selection and scoring
What Matters Most
- Length off the tee to handle the long par-4s and reachable par-5s
- Precise iron play into large but well-protected greens
- Scrambling ability when water or bunkers are avoided
- Composure under pressure on the demanding final holes
Key Holes / Momentum Stretch
- The par-5 1st offers a scoring opportunity but requires a precise layup.
- The iconic 18th — 473-yard par-4 with water left and fronting the green — is a nerve‑wracking finisher.
- The stretch of 16-18 is among the toughest on the PGA Tour, with water in play on every hole.

The Cadillac Championship Legacy
The Cadillac Championship (historically known as the Doral Open) is one of the most prestigious events on the PGA Tour, played annually at the iconic Blue Monster course at Trump National Doral in Miami. Since its debut in 1962, the event has become a staple of the Florida Swing, renowned for its demanding layout and dramatic finishes.
Designed by Dick Wilson, the Blue Monster favors powerful hitters who can also navigate the many water hazards. Players must balance aggression with precision, especially on the closing stretch where water lurks on every hole.
Now a PGA Tour Signature Event with a $20 million purse and 700 FedExCup points to the winner, the Cadillac Championship consistently attracts the deepest fields in golf.
The iconic 18th hole — a 473-yard par-4 with water all down the left and guarding the green — remains one of the most dramatic finishing holes in professional golf and a true test of championship mettle.
