The Cadillac Championship: PGA TOUR’s New Era in Miami

When the PGA TOUR announced its return to Miami with the inaugural Cadillac Championship, it marked the beginning of a new era for one of the sport’s most iconic destinations. 

Taking place April 27 through May 3 at the famed Blue Monster at Trump National Doral, the championship stands as the only new event on the TOUR’s 2026 Regular Season schedule and joins the elite ranks of Signature Events. Designed to capture the attention of South Florida sports fans, the Cadillac Championship reinforces Miami’s

position as a global capital for sport, culture, and luxury.

For more than half a century, Trump National Doral has been one of the TOUR’s most storied venues, hosting competition from 1962 to 2016 and welcoming 14 World Golf Hall of Famers to its winner’s circle. Legends including Tiger Woods, who claimed four victories at the course, have helped cement the Blue Monster’s reputation as one of the most iconic and challenging layouts in

the game.

The Cadillac Championship brings renewed energy to this tradition. As a Signature Event, it blends the venue’s rich history with a modern competitive structure, offering fans and players a worldclass stage and an elevated experience shaped for today’s PGA TOUR.

Miami has rapidly become an international hub for major sporting events, from Formula 1 to global soccer showcases, and the Cadillac Championship arrives as a dynamic addition to that landscape. By bringing many of the world’s top golfers back to the Blue Monster, the event further strengthens Miami’s reputation for hosting highimpact, luxury-driven experiences.

As a Signature Event, the Cadillac Championship reflects the highest standard of competition on TOUR. Its limited field and nocut format ensure that many of the game’s premier players will be on-site, making the competition one of the event’s defining elements. The Blue Monster’s storied layout only heightens the appeal, drawing players eager to take on its dramatic closing hole and strategic waterlined challenges.

Beyond the competition, the event mirrors Miami’s unique cultural energy. Fans can expect four days of championship golf woven together with local flavor, hospitality offerings, and the vibrant South Florida spirit that has long made the region a leading destination for international visitors and lifestyle-driven audiences.

The tournament is also designed to deliver an immersive fan experience. Spectators will find an expanded selection of elevated offerings, including interactive fan zones, curated local food and beverage options, and premium viewing areas that provide uninterrupted sightlines of the action. This approach ensures the championship resonates with golf purists, casual fans, and those drawn by the social atmosphere alike. Whether guests come for the play, the hospitality, or the overall environment, the experience aims to feel fresh, modern, and distinctly Miami.

One of the event’s greatest strengths is its ability to connect with both avid golf followers and lifestyle audiences. For dedicated fans, the legacy venue, elite field, and competitive format deliver the hallmarks of championship golf. For lifestyle-focused spectators, the tournament serves as a cultural moment, while offering culinary activations, local partnerships, and experiential spaces that reflect Miami’s creativity and vibrancy. That balance positions the Cadillac Championship as a standout week on Miami’s annual calendar.

Later this month, the championship will place Miami on a global stage, highlighting not only the competition but also the city’s unmistakable skyline, culture, and energy. Its broad reach underscores the event’s ability to help elevate Miami’s identity as a world-leading destination for sports, entertainment, and lifestyle.

Ultimately, the Cadillac Championship is where sport, community, culture, and connection meet. For luxury audiences and business leaders, it offers meaningful networking opportunities, premium hospitality, and access to an influential crowd, all within a setting that reflects the event’s prestige.

Positioned to become one of the most anticipated stops on the TOUR calendar, the Cadillac Championship looks forward to expanding its community impact, strengthening partner engagement, and continuing to enhance the on-site fan experience in future years.

As Miami’s global reputation continues to rise, the Cadillac Championship is poised to grow right alongside it.
