The Blue Monster returns to the PGA Tour calendar for the first time since 2016 — and it's the longest test of the year at 7,739 yards. Gil Hanse's 2014 redesign brought water into play on 14 of 18 holes, including a peninsula-green par-3 15th and a drivable par-4 16th flanked by lakes. The course rewards bombers who can shorten approach distances, but the deepest Bermuda rough on tour and the highest penalty-stroke incidence punish mistakes. The 18th — a 473-yard par-4 with water flanking the entire left side — has historically been one of the hardest closing holes on tour and should make for an exciting Sunday finish.
Scottie Scheffler headlines the field as the obvious top option — his combination of elite ball-striking and length off the tee is tailor-made for a course that demands both. Cameron Young and Min Woo Lee profile cleanly as bombers who can attack the par-5s and shorten the long par-4s, while Collin Morikawa's iron play remains a meaningful edge on a course where approach play matters more than putting. For sleepers, keep an eye on Ryo Hisatsune — strong recent form and a price tag that hasn't fully caught up to his ball-striking metrics. Pierceson Coody and Alex Smalley round out the value tier as bombers with enough recent reps to handle Doral's penalty-prone setup.
