The WGC Championship at the Trump National Doral saw some huge names lift the title. The likes of Tiger Woods, Justin Rose, Patrick Reed, Dustin Johnson, and Adam Scott have all been champions on the course.

With the Cadillac Championship being a $20 million Signature event, it might see a few more established players join the list. The likes of Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy must already be raring to get their hands on the title.

President Donald Trump’s deal with the PGA Tour may have created complications with their rivals

For four years in a row, the Trump National Doral in Miami had been the home of LIV Golf. The LIV Golf Miami has been held at the venue since 2022. In 2022 & 2023, the Team Championship was held on the course and saw 4Aces GC & Crushers GC win the season’s titles, respectively. In 2024, Dean Burmester won the individual title there, while Marc Leishman won the same in 2025.

However, LIV Golf decided to take the Miami event off its calendar for 2026. This was a couple of months before Trump National Doral was announced as the venue for the Cadillac Championship. Scott O’Neil & Co. might not have wanted to host an event on the same golf course as the PGA Tour despite consistently having the Miami fairway on their calendar for four straight seasons.
