PGA Tour one-and-done is perhaps the best fantasy golf game, with season-long leagues that give players a chance to pick one player for each tournament in the league season.

Once again in 2026, we offer weekly PGA Tour one-and-done golf picks for leagues of all kinds, including survivor leagues where the selected player must make the cut for the entry to continue to the next tournament.

We continue our 2026 PGA Tour one-and-done picks with the 2026 Cadillac Championship, concluding at the 2026 Tour Championship, keeping track of our picks all along the way.

Before we begin, if you're not familiar with game, read this primer on the one-and-done fantasy golf format, and welcome to the game. It really is as easy as it sounds, but you have to take a long-term view of the season to figure out how best to use players.

This week, we have the Cadillac Championship, with the PGA Tour coming back to Doral for the first time in a decade, taking on a difficult Blue Monster test.

It's Cadillac Championship week, and the 72-player field this week is taking on a test that will likely prove quite taxing, unless the setup is softened dramatically.

We nailed it on the Fitzpatricks last week, which is great. And now we get a no-cut week to continue going. We want grinders out here this week who like tough setups.

2026 Cadillac Championship One and Done picks

  • Sam Burns: Burns has done well at US Opens, courses where there should be firm and fast conditions like we're anticipating this week.
  • Akshay Bhatia: Bhatia already won this year in Florida on a golf couse that should be quite difficult like the Blue Monster.
  • Ryan Fox: Bombers should have an edge here, and his length and comfort with firmer surfaces should help.
  • Jake Knapp: Knapp has been the best ballstriker this year on the PGA Tour, and that should be a huge asset this week.

My pick this week is Sam Burns.
