McIlroy commits to World Golf Championships
|
Several of the world's top players including No. 1 ranked Luke Donald, Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy and six-time World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship winner, Tiger Woods, have officially committed to this year's Cadillac Championship at TPC Blue Monster at Doral Resort & Spa, March 7-11.
Woods' commitment becomes final on Feb. 27, when the top 50 in the Official World Golf Rankings are released. Woods is currently ranked No. 18.
Woods has dominated the World Golf Championships events since their inception, yet has not won one since the 2009 Bridgestone Invitational. He has never finished outside of the top 10 at the Cadillac Championship, an event that he has won six times with his last victory coming in 2007. Woods' record 16 World Golf Championships event titles in 36 starts give him a winning percentage of 44.44 percent in the series.
Joining Woods is Donald, who claimed 2011 PGA TOUR Player of the Year honors and is currently ranked No. 1 in the Official World Golf Ranking. Donald finished T6 at last year's Cadillac Championship, matching his best finish at the event (2006). The T6 was one of Donald's career best 14 top-10 finishes in 2011.
Also set to tee it up at TPC Blue Monster is McIlroy, who claimd the 2011 U.S. Open in record-breaking fashion. The 22-year-old from Northern Ireland will play in the Cadillac Championship for the fourth consecutive year with his best finish (T10) coming last year. In 12 career starts at World Golf Championships events, McIlroy has seven top-10 finishes.
"It was great to see Tiger in the hunt again this past weekend and we are thrilled that he will be a part of the world-class field here at the World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship," said Executive Director Eddie Carbone.
