Our photo of Chris was taken at the World Golf Championships at Doral in 2007. Chris DiMarco was born in Huntington, New York and turned professional in 1990. He won the Canadian Tour's order of merit in 1992 and finished 9th on the Nike Tour in 1993 to earn his PGA Tour card. However, it took him a few years to really begin to stamp his mark – finally winning his first USPGA Tour event at the 2001 Pennsylvania Classic. Further USPGA Tour wins followed at the 2001 Buick and 2002 Phoenix Open. Every year between 1999 and 2004 he was in the top 20 on the US Tour. He narrowly missed winning his first Major at the USPGA at Whistling Straights in Wisconsin in 2004 – losing in a play off to Vijay Singh. To add further misery, also lost a sudden death playoff to Tiger Woods in the Augusta Masters in 2005. Still not enough woe? Ok, he finished runner-up to Tiger again at the 2006 Open Championship at Hoylake. A member of the U.S. team in the 2003 and 2005 Presidents Cups and the 2004 and 2006 Ryder Cup, Chris DiMarco is one of golf’s toughest opponents – a seriously dogged competitor who never gives up. Already one of the world’s best players, it can only be a matter of time before DiMarco breaks his Major duck. |

Tiger Woods bagged another $1.35m for his two-shot win over Ryder Cup team mate Brett Wetterich at the Blue Monster Course at the Doral Resort in Miami, Florida between 22nd-25th March 2007. No one ever got closer than three shots to Tiger on the final afternoon. The World Golf Championships are played over five continents – and feature the top 50 players from the Official World Golf Rankings 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 formats vary - match play, strokeplay and team - but the purses are always big! The WGC CA Championship is the fifth tournament Woods has won at least three times in a row. |
