Overview

  • Scheffler, the World No. 1, arrives at Trump National Doral as the betting pick after a run of high finishes this season.
  • In his first looks at the Blue Monster, he called the course long and difficult and said it will be a strong test.
  • A TaylorMade video showed him post a bogey-free three-under 33 on the back nine in a practice round.
  • He played a pro-am with Formula 1 drivers Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Perez and said their prep talk offered useful insight.
  • The Cadillac Championship is a PGA Tour Signature Event at Doral’s nearly 7,800-yard Blue Monster with a $20 million purse and no cut, and Scheffler is grouped with Cameron Young for the opening rounds as Doral returns after hosting from 1962 to 2016.
