The Blue Monster 2008 CA Championship
|
The 2008 CA Championship is slated for March 17-23 at Doral Golf Resort & Spa and will feature top players from around the world, including the top-30 from the 2007 FedExCup point standings, a new criteria for the CA Championship field. |
The World Golf Championships-CA Championship will begin in March 2008 exclusively at Doral's Blue Course;
and the partnership runs through 2010. The Championships will feature the top 50 players from the Official
World Golf Ranking along with top finishers on the money lists of six Tours comprising the International
Federation of PGA Tours (PGA TOUR, European Tour, Australasian Tour, Japan Golf Tour, Asian Tour and
Southern Africa Tour).
The World Golf Championships were developed to enhance the competitive structure of professional golf
worldwide while preserving the traditions and strengths of the individual tours and their events.
The Asian PGA joined the International Federation of PGA Tours as a full-fledged member in November 1999.
In March 2000, the Canadian Tour was added as an Associate Member. The World Golf Championships have
been conducted on five different continents.
The Blue Monster project also involved a course-wide landscape renovation, as well as a complete bunker make-over
of all bunkers on the course. The project included a complete cart path replacement, featuring new concrete to help
improve course management. This was highlighted by the installation of special 10-foot-wide paths, with extra re-enforcement
added to a few strategic areas of the course to help in CA Championship tournament set-up.
Tiger Woods won the 2007 CA Championship in March, the first time Doral Golf Resort & Spa hosted the tournament, which had previously been played at five different courses around the world. But the Blue Monster has tested TOUR players for many years, serving as host of a TOUR event since 1962.
The World Golf Championships feature elite players in a variety of competitive formats at venues around the world.
Since the series debut in 1999, World Golf Championships have been held in nine countries, with that figure to
rise to 10 after the Barbados World Cup in December. The CA Championship has been played five times in Europe
and twice previously in the United States.
