5 of Top 15 Ranked PGA Tour Players Skipping Trump Doral Return

The PGA Tour returns to Trump National Doral for the Cadillac Championship starting Thursday after a decade-long absence, but five of the top 15 players in the Official World Golf Ranking — including three of the top 10 and back-to-back Masters champion Rory McIlroy — will not compete. The event is one of eight $20 million signature events on the PGA Tour's 2026 schedule, featuring a limited field of 72 players and no 36-hole cut. All participants are guaranteed prize money, with payouts starting at $3.6 million.
