Buick Invitational
 The Buick Invitational is the 4th event on the 2008 PGA Tour Schedule and is part of the Tour's FedEx Cup Competition. Bet on Tiger Woods as defends his five time championship title.
Tiger Woods returns to action this week, and it'll be in an event that he has dominated in past years.
This week's PGA tournament is the Buick Invitational at Torrey Pines Golf Course in La Jolla, California, with an estimated purse of $5.2 million and first-place prize money of $936,000. And favored, of course, to end up in first place, is Tiger Woods.
Tiger Woods will likely make his first start of the season in three weeks at the Buick Invitational at Torrey Pines in La Jolla, Calif.
Anticipation's high, because all signs point to Woods' game rising toward another unprecedented peak in a year where the majors are aligned favorably for him to make a run at winning the Grand Slam.

Buick Open 2008 Results
 Tiger Woods joined some elite company Sunday Jan 27, even though he might as well have been playing alone.
He thrilled the gallery with an improbable flop shot from the muck of trampled grass behind the ninth green to save par. He sent Torrey Pines into delirium with a 60-foot birdie putt that started in one direction and slid into the cup from the other. He made three consecutive bogeys on the back nine, a rarity for him when he's in the lead.
Woods finished at 19-under 269 to win the Buick Invitational for the fourth consecutive year. Woods is the only player to own such a streak at two events, having also won four in a row at Bay Hill. |
