One-and-Done Golf Picks for the Cadillac Championship

As the PGA Tour returns to action, so do the one-and-done pools for golf contest players.

For those unfamiliar, OAD pools closely mirror an NFL survivor contest. Players select a golfer each week and earn their prize money at the conclusion of the event.

The catch? Contestants can only use a player once. Additionally, not all prize pools are created equally, which further adds to the game theory.

Below, I’ve outlined three players worth a look for OAD pools this week at the Cadillac Championship.

Golf odds are reflective at the time of writing and are subject to movement.

3 Best Golf One-and-Done Picks for the Cadillac Championship

Option #1: Cameron Young (+1200)

If the Masters performance serves as an indicator, Young offers players a high ceiling.

Only once in his last four starts has Young finished outside the top-10. That came in his last start – the RBC Heritage – due to his worst putting performance this season.

Before that dip, Young placed on the podium three times, including his Players Championship victory. At Riviera, he finished in a tie for seventh.

As detailed in my Cadillac Championship picks, Young showed incredible spike potential dating back to the Genesis. Over his last 20 rounds, he gained at least five strokes 20% of the time.

Paired with his distance and control off the tee – Young leads the field in total driving – I expect he contends this week at Doral.

Option #2: Adam Scott (+2800)

Very few players in this field previously played at Doral. Scott offers players the exception as a former winner at Doral.

In fact, the Masters champion finished T-4th in 2015 before winning at Doral in 2016. Ten years onward, Scott fits the profile of a Doral contender.

He ranks eighth and 10th, respectively, in driving distance and total driving over the last four months. Plus, only Collin Morikawa outpaces Scott in SG: APP over the last 24 rounds.

Further bolstering Scott’s statistical profile is his long-iron control. Within this field, he ranks third in average proximity from beyond 200 yards.

Lastly, Scott ranks second in SG: Par 5s – 601-650 yards since last year. Most of that success is contained within the 2025 season, but the course history offers some hope.

Option #3: Jake Knapp (+2800)

On paper, the course should fit Knapp’s profile very well. He ranks fourth in driving distance gained, 10th in total driving and first in Par 5 birdie or better rate.

Generally, Knapp proved the model of consistency this season. Outside of a missed cut at TPC Sawgrass and T-74th at Harbour Town, he never finished worse than 11th.

That run includes a T-5th at Torrey Pines, 11th at Augusta National and sixth at Riviera. At the Masters, Knapp led the field in SG: OTT despite ranking 38th in SG: APP.

If there’s a concern with Knapp, it’s that SG: APP dictated success in 2015 and 2016. Both Scott and 2015 winner Dustin Johnson paced the field in that category during victories.

Still, Knapp gained at least one stroke per round on approach in two of his last three events. Over his last 12 rounds, he spiked to +1 SG: APP or better four times.
