The 2008 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 18-23 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 his fourth consecutive CA Championship crown.
The campaign of American golfer Tiger Woods for the 2008 PGA Tour is on a perfect start. Just a few weeks ago, Tiger Woods played in his first tournament of the 2008 PGA Tour, and won the 2008 Buick Invivational. Tiger Woods played in his 2nd tournament of 2008 and won the 2008 Dubai Desert Classic (not a PGA Tour event), bringing him to a perfect start of 2-of-2 in tournaments and championships. Undoubtedly, the world’s number 1 golfer is on a hot streak, and surpasses the record of Arnold Palmer in most tournament wins.
WGC-CA Championship Golf Odds - Tiger 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.
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.
