PGA Tour Golf Odds, Picks, Predictions: Final 2026 Cadillac Championship Betting Card, OAD
The 2026 PGA Tour golf season continues, with the Blue Monster Course at Doral next on tap to host the Cadillac Championship in Miami, Florida, beginning Thursday. Scottie Scheffler, Cameron Young, and Collin Morikawa headline among RBC Heritage bets this week, as John Haslbauer provides his favorite picks among all the golf odds for this tourney. You’ll find the top odds across the best sports betting sites.
The 5th Signature Event of the 2026 PGA Tour season is here, as the PGA Tour heads to Miami for a brand new event, the Cadillac Championship at Trump National Doral. While the event is new, the Blue Monster Course at Doral is one of the most renowned courses in the PGA Tour’s history; it was a regular Tour stop from 1962 to 2016.
In this limited field of 72, value can be hard to come by, which calls for a more consolidated betting card than usual. Standing over 7,700 yards, Doral is the longest course we’ll see all year on the PGA Tour, so distance is and ball striking will be essential for contenders.
Below, we’ll go through my final Cadillac Championship bets. Click the odds anywhere in this article to place Cadillac Championship wagers. For a full breakdown of the tournament and course, visit my Cadillac Championship preview.

How I Built My Cadillac Championship Betting Card
Scottie Scheffler is a very intimidating presence in the field this week. He’s finished runner-up in each of his last two starts, and he has multiple wins at some of the top comp courses to what we expect to see out of Doral: Augusta National, Muirfield Village, Bay Hill, and TPC Sawgrass. With so many top contenders skipping this event (McIlroy, Cantlay, Aberg, Fitzpatrick, Schauffele), I feel compelled to take the safe route and bet my outrights in the Without Scheffler market.
Scheffler aside, I’m expecting the longest hitters to have an advantage on the 7,739-yard behemoth. I’m building my card around long hitters in elite ball-striking form with consistent history on long, challenging, windy venues.
From a unit allocation standpoint, it’s back to business as usual for my weekly stake at the 2026 Cadillac Championship.
- Outrights – 3.5U in to pay 25U each
- FRL – 0.5U in to pay out 10U+ each
- Full tournament matchups – 1U in to pay out 2U
- Props – 1.2U in to pay out 3U+ each
Cadillac Championship Bets: Outrights w/out Scheffler (3.5 Units)
Chris Gotterup
My Bet: +2250
Gotterup has won on Bermuda greens already this season and credited his instant success at the Sony Open to his off-season move to Florida. That local knowledge should help a bit in this return to the Sunshine State. It’s natural to look straight to bombers like Gotterup whenever we head to a course that stretches beyond 7,700 yards, but it’s his overall form that has me optimistic about his chances to contend at Doral.
Gotterup ranks top-5 in the field in SG: T2G, SG: OTT, and SG: Ball Striking leading in. He is No. 1 overall in the field in Driving Distance, a huge advantage at the Blue Monster. With top-25 finishes in four of his last five starts, Gotterup will have his sights set on a third 2026 PGA Tour win.
Jake Knapp
My Bet: +2600
Knapp has shown an affinity for long, driver-heavy, windy course setups, picking up his first career PGA Tour win at the 2024 Mexico Open. The smooth-swinging bomber has had very linear success across long, driver-heavy courses that offer an advantage to the longest hitters in the field. He’s finished top-11 at the Farmers Insurance Open, WM Phoenix Open, Genesis Invitational, Texas Children’s Houston Open, and The Masters just this season.
Knapp famously broke 60 at the Cognizant Classic last season, and looks poised to go low on another long, windy Florida setup this week.
Viktor Hovland
My Bet: +2800
Hovland’s most recent victory came in the state of Florida at the 2025 Valspar Championship, continuing a trend of dominance in windy conditions. Of his 7 career PGA Tour wins, four have come on windy, coastal venues. Hovland elevates his game in difficult scoring conditions, ranking top-5 in Comp Course History, SG: TOT (Difficult Scoring Conditions), and SG: T2G (>7,400-yard courses).
He’s contended in recent years at Oak Hill, Bay Hill, and Muirfield Village, proving he has what it takes to hang around on long, demanding courses. With three top-20 finishes over his last five starts, Hovland’s game is trending in the right direction as he hunts for his first win of 2026.
Gary Woodland
My Bet: +5700
My featured spotlight player of the week for the Cadillac Championship, there is so much to like about Gary Woodland’s prospects this week, especially at this price. Woodland comes to Miami with a T8 and 1st place finish over his last three starts. He is one of few players with experience at Doral, finishing top-25 in each of his last two appearances here back in 2015 and 2014.
Woodland is top-10 in this field in SG: OTT, SG: Ball Striking, and Driving Distance. He’s also made significant improvements to his putting this season, a deciding factor in his victory at the Texas Children’s Houston Open last month.
Cadillac Championship Bets: First-Round Leader (0.5 Units)
Kurt Kitayama
My Bet: +4700
Kitayama was the dreaded last man off my card this week, but there’s no doubting his profile fir for Doral. Kitayama ranks top-10 in both Driving Distance and SG: APP, and has proven he can go low on a long, Florida venue, winning the 2023 Arnold Palmer Invitational.
Gary Woodland
My Bet: +4900
Gary Woodland’s combination of distance, ball striking form, and hot putting is a perfect recipe to score at Doral. His ability to hit flighted approach shots will also be a bonus skill set to find scoring opportunities, should the wind pick up in Miami.
Michael Thorbjornsen
My Bet: +5000
Thorbjornsen was a late entry into the field this week after Patrick Cantlay’s withdrawal on Tuesday. He’ll come straight from New Orleans with birdies on the mind, as he now steps into a perfect situation to flex his distance and ball-striking advantage on the rest of this field.
Corey Conners
My Bet: +6000
Conners may lack the driving distance of most others on my card, but that hasn’t prevented him from scoring on long, difficult venues. His consistency at Augusta National, Bay Hill, and Oak Hill makes him the 5th-ranked player in the field in terms of comp course history. We should expect him to play out of the fairway all day Thursday, and lean on his long-iron approach prowess to hunt for birdies.
Ryan Fox
My Bet: +7000
Fox is always a threat on long, driver-heavy courses, picking up his most recent win at TPC Toronto last season. He remains in great all-around form with five top-25 finishes over his last seven starts.
Cadillac Championship Prop Bets (2.5 Units)
Full Tournament Matchup: Corey Conners over Sam Stevens
My Bet: -110
While most will fixate their player pool on the longest hitters to attack this 7,739-yard behemoth, the underlying metrics suggest that Conners is being undervalued in this field. He has a great track record on long and difficult courses, and enters this week in solid form with two top-15s over his last four starts.
Stevens’ form looks the same over that stretch, so I’m siding with the Canadian veteran in this matchup due to his experience and pedigree in these conditions.
Top-20 Finish: Gary Woodland
My Bet: +205
I’m very high on Gary Woodland this week, and will be cornering the market for as much exposure as I can get. He’s finished top-20 in three of his last four starts, and does not need his best stuff to post a high finish in this limited field of just 72 players.
Top-20 Finish: Max Homa
My Bet: +430
When assessing the longshots in the field, Homa offers the highest upside to me, given his pedigree on long and difficult comp courses. Homa has won at Quail Hollow and Torrey Pines, and contended at Augusta in each of the last two years, so I have no questions about his ability to handle a long and challenging venue like the BLue Monster.
One And Done
My Pick: Scottie Scheffler
I have played Scottie Scheffler in One And Done at the Memorial each of the last two years with no regrets. This year, however, I believe this is the ideal spot on the schedule to use Scheffler. His form is back to its peak with runner up finishes in each of his last two starts, and seemingly all of his top opponents (McIlroy, Schauffele, Aberg, Fitzpatrick, Cantlay) are not here this week.
Scheffler will not be in the field at next week’s Truist Championship, and I expect a stronger field in store at the Memorial and The Travelers. So, considering this is a limited field with a giant purse and very legitimate challengers, I have no reason not to pull the trigger now on Scheffler.
If not Scheffler, I would also consider playing Chris Gotterup, Viktor Hovland, or Gary Woodland in OAD.
