Five WGC Cadillac Championship facts

As tee off at the WGC Cadillac Championship approaches in Florida, here are five facts about the tournament and the Doral course.
  • There is an $8.5m prize purse on offer, with $1.4m and 550 FedExCup points to the winner.
  • Only one European has ever won at the TCP Blue Monster course - Nick Faldo in 1995 at the Doral Open.
  • Peter Senior will be the oldest player to take part in the WGC Cadillac Championship. The Australian will be 51 years 7 months and 13 days when the tournament begins.
  • Geoff Ogilvy was the last wire-to-wire winner of the Championship in 2008.
  • The course record is 61, carded by Stephen Ames in 2000 during the second round of the Doral-Ryder Open. Tiger Woods holds the championship scoring record, twice finishing on -23 at Mount Juliet Conrad in 2002 and at The Grove in 2006.
