World Golf Champions CA Championship

Another tournament… Another win for Tiger. It’s almost getting old to watch Woods take tournament after tournament. Meanwhile pundits, like me are basically taking stabs at who will finish second.
This week’s World Golf Champions CA Championship looks to offer much the same. Tiger has won here six times in the eight year history of this event. Oh yeah, and those two other years, he posted top 10s.
This is an absolute no brainer week to use Tiger. The challenge is to pick another top 5 golfer, or two.

My Picks

Tiger Woods

Sergio Garcia – Sergio has had a nice history here posting six top 10 finishes in eight tries.

Brandt Snedeker – This is Snedeker’s first time at this event. He is coming off a couple of strong finishes, and I think he is due to break off a solid top 10 finish.

Anton Haig – This South African kid came here last season and posted a decent 32nd place finish. He’s young (almost 22) and hits it long. For a cheap pickup, I think he is as good as anyone else.

B Pool

Sean O’Hair – Ride him while he is hot!

Ian Poulter – Poulter has an average finish of 20th after four tries at this event.

Stuart Appleby – He’s been playing some great golf this season, and he has a nice history here, averaging 17th place in eight tries.

Ryuji Imada – It’s his first time here, but he’s playing some great golf, so I’ll take my chances.


C Pool


Niclas Fasth – Fasth finished 6th here last year, and finished 8th last week.

Lee Westwood – I’ve always liked Westwood, and after a strong 17th place finish last week, I’m happy to give him a go this week.
