Scottie Scheffler is already doing his best to get to grips with the Blue Monster Course at Trump National Doral, which plays host to the Cadillac Championship.
The Cadillac Championship represents the next Signature Event on the PGA Tour, with the tournament in Miami featuring a $20m purse.

And headlining the field is Scheffler, who enters the event on the back of two successive runner-up finishes.
Scheffler has now taken on the back nine at Trump National Doral ahead of the Cadillac Championship, notably to great success.
Scottie Scheffler goes bogey-free on Blue Monster Course back nine
TaylorMade captured the PGA Tour superstar playing the back nine of the Blue Monster Course, sharing the footage on X.
He carded a bogey-free three-under 33 in his practice round, recording six pars and three birdies along the way.
Worryingly for his rivals, Scheffler really made the formidable course look easy, but whether he can repeat such efforts in the tournament remains to be seen.

Momentum is, however, very much on his side, with the world number one recently finishing second at The Masters before losing in a playoff at the RBC Heritage.
He has made the cut in all eight of his appearances this season, which includes a win in his first start at The American Express.
Scheffler is paired with fellow American Cameron Young for rounds one and two of the tournament, which does not have a cut.

Michael Kim issues Blue Monster warning ahead of the Cadillac Championship
The daunting Blue Monster Course will undoubtedly play differently in the tournament as opposed to practice, where there is much less pressure on the stars involved.

But discussion of its impending difficulty has already emerged, with one-time PGA Tour winner Michael Kim well aware of the task at hand.
Also in the field this week, Kim posted on X: “Yo Doral Blue Monster is a freaking hard course,” before adding: “Makes me think PGA National on steroids with all Bermuda.”
US President Donald Trump purchased the Doral Resort in 2012, with the $150m deal including four golf courses.
One of which is the prestigious Blue Monster, which this week is playing as a 7,739-yard par-72 course.
This week’s Cadillac Championship will mark the 56th playing of a PGA Tour event at the course, which previously hosted consistently from 1962 to 2016.
