The 2010 Word Golf Championships - CA Championship at Doral
 One of three World Golf Championship events, the CA Championship is a highlight of the annual PGA Tour calendar. The sport's best, highlighted by the top 50 ranked players in the world, will be on hand from March 8-14 to take on Doral's infamous Blue Monster Course. Although many top golfers compete, one name has dominated recent tournaments- "Tiger Woods".
Tiger Woods will once again be the center of attention, as he shoots for another CA Championship crown.
WGC-CA Championship Golf Odds - PGA Golfers vs. the Blue Monster
 The WGC-CA Championship, one of the three annual World Golf Championship tournaments, has historically been played at different sites in the United States and Europe; however, the event will now be played every year at the Blue Monster Course of the Doral Golf Resort & Spa in Doral, Florida.
The Blue Monster was designed by Dick Wilson design and later reworked by Raymond Floyd, the Blue Monster has been hosting PGA Tour events for more than 40 years. The 7,125-yard course is known for its long fairways, undulating greens, thick rough and strategic bunkers.
With its frequent star turns on television, the Blue Monster overshadows its Doral siblings, the Gold, Red, Silver and Great White courses. While all offer excellent golf, only the Great White, named for designer Greg Norman, is mentioned in the same breath as the Blue. Also topping 7,000 yards, its difficulty wins fans and detractors in equal number.
The four "other" Doral courses share some common factors. One is water: The drink is a factor on most of the 72 holes. Another is distraction. Planes buzz overhead on route to the airport, and the Silver, Gold and Red snake course.
2009 CA Championship Winner
 Once he got onto the Blue Monster, Mickelson looked better than ever.
Weakened and dehydrated by a stomach virus that sent him to the hospital on the eve of the final round, Mickelson closed with seven straight pars for a 3-under 69 to win the CA Championship after a dynamic duel at Doral against Nick Watney.
"It took a lot out of me," said Mickelson, who sipped on energy drinks throughout the round. "I haven't eaten much in three days. I fought hard. I've been playing some of my best golf, and I'm very excited to have finished it off."
No longer the best player without a World Golf Championship, Mickelson now can set his sights on No. 1 in the world.
His second victory in his last three starts moved him to No. 2 in the FedExCup standings and to No. 2 in the world, closer than he has ever been to Tiger Woods. Depending on how Woods fares at Bay Hill, Mickelson could have a chance to replace him when he next plays at the Shell Houston Open. He's also only 51 points behind FedExCup leader Geoff Ogilvy.
"He's the greatest player of all time. I don't want to go there with the world ranking," Mickelson said. "What I'm excited about is I'm playing some of my best golf."
He finished at 19-under 269 and earned $1.4 million, the biggest check of his career.
This one-shot victory might have been as impressive as any.
2008 CA Championship Winner
Ogilvy wins CA Championship
 With a trusty wedge and a steady hand, Ogilvy closed out the weather-suspended final round of the CA Championship with nine straight pars Monday morning to score a wire-to-wire victory.
He didn't just end Woods' run of seven consecutive worldwide victories and five straight PGA Tour wins. He held off three other major-championship winners closing in on him.
With a final-round one-under-par 71, Ogilvy claimed the $1.35-million first-place check and the Gene Sarazen Trophy. His 17-under 271 total was a shot better than three-time major-championship winner Vijay Singh (68), two-time U.S. Open winner Retief Goosen (68) and U.S. Open winner Jim Furyk (68).
"With most people giving the tournament to one guy, it's very, very satisfying," Ogilvy told fans at the trophy presentation.
That guy would be Woods, who lost for the first time since September, when Phil Mickelson beat him head to head at the Deutsche Bank Championship outside Boston.
"We are glad, yes," Goosen said of the streak's end.
