The WGC - CA Championships

Doral (Blue Monster), Miami, Florida

The course is known as the 'Blue Monster' because of its many water hazards and because of it's length at 7569 yards. Originally designed by Dick Wilson the course was lengthened in 2000.

There was a spectacular finish in 2004 when Craig Parry holed his 2nd shot in a play-off against Verplank.
