The second round of the 2026 Cadillac Championship gets underway on Friday at Trump National Doral in Miami, Florida.

Cameron Young, at eight-under par, leads the Cadillac Championship after the opening round and holds a one-stroke lead over the rest of the field. But, of course, the tournament remains wide open with three days remaining.

Here are my picks and Cadillac Championship Round 2 best bets.

Cadillac Championship Round 2 Best Bets

Sahith Theegala Top-20 (-115 at DraftKings)

Sahith Theegala got off to a strong start Thursday, finishing the opening round T9 at 3-under par. At -115, he is worth backing to remain inside the top 20 for the rest of the tournament.

The driver is arguably the most important club in the bag at Trump National Doral this week. The course returns to the PGA Tour for the first time since 2016 and is a beast of a venue.

Trump National Doral stretches more than 7,700 yards and heavily penalizes players who miss fairways. As a result, both accuracy and distance off the tee are essential, two areas in which Theegala has shown improvement.

He has gained true strokes off the tee in six of his past eight tournaments.

Hideki Matsuyama Top-20 (-148 at DraftKings)

Another golfer worth targeting in this market is Hideki Matsuyama. Like Theegala, Matsuyama enters Friday already inside the top 20 after an opening-round T15 finish at 2-under par.

He has also been solid off the tee this season, ranking in the 57th percentile on the PGA Tour in strokes gained: off the tee.

Matsuyama has also excelled on longer holes. This season, he ranks 22nd on the PGA Tour in par-5 birdie-or-better percentage.

The last time Trump National Doral hosted a PGA Tour event in 2016, each of the top three finishers ranked inside the top three in the field in par-5 scoring.
