The PGA Tour has announced a new signature event sponsored by Cadillac, called the Cadillac Championship, after canceling the season-opening The Sentry event. The tournament is set to take place at Donald Trump’s Trump National Doral from April 27 to May 3. The PGA Tour shared the news on its X account, formerly known as Twitter, with a caption introducing the new event.
Fans on social media shared their reactions to the announcement, with one fan expressing excitement about the luxury and taste associated with Trump and Cadillac. Another fan mentioned that the Blue Monster course at Trump National Doral belongs as a tour stop and praised Cadillac as an excellent sponsor. Yet another fan was glad to see the event back in the PGA Tour rotation with an iconic sponsor and venue.
Additional fan reactions included one fan appreciating the natural pairing between golf and Cadillac, while another humorously pointed out that the event dedicated to Cadillac and hosted at a club owned by Donald Trump in Miami seemed like a throwback to the 1980s. Overall, fans seemed excited about the event and the partnership between Cadillac and the PGA Tour.
PGA Tour CEO, Brian Rolapp, expressed his excitement for the Cadillac Championship, highlighting the multiyear deal signed with Cadillac. He mentioned that Cadillac’s partnership with the PGA Tour is synonymous with Trump National Doral, a legacy venue on the tour schedule. Eric Trump, Executive Vice President of the Trump Organization, also shared his enthusiasm for hosting the event at Trump National Doral, calling it one of the most celebrated golf destinations in the world.
The Cadillac Championship is now set to be the new signature event for the PGA Tour, following the cancellation of The Sentry event due to water restrictions at the Kapalua Golf Course. The PGA Tour’s signature events feature a limited field and an elevated purse, with the Cadillac Championship joining other prestigious events like the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, the Genesis Invitational, and the Arnold Palmer Invitational.
Overall, the Cadillac Championship promises to be an exciting addition to the PGA Tour schedule, with fans eagerly awaiting the tournament at Trump National Doral. The partnership between Cadillac and the PGA Tour signifies a new era for the sport, bringing together luxury, heritage, and world-class golf.
