The message from Mark Wilson is – never give up! Having spend years struggling to keep his Tour card, at the age of 32 and after 111 starts, he finally won his first PGA tournament at The Honda Classic in March 2007, beating Jose Coceres, Camilo Villegas and Boo Weekely in a four-way play-off to win the $990,000 first prize. This was despite calling a two-shot penalty on himself during the second round – so good guys do win.

 2007  World Golf Championships - CA – Doral

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.


In Mark Wilson's bag...
In Mark Wilson's bag at Doral are the same clubs he used just a couple of weeks earlier to bag $990,000 for his first tour victory in the 2007 Honda Classic. Interestingly, he uses the older model Ping i3 Blade irons (4 thru pitching wedge) - matched with Ping Tour wedges (52, 56 and 60 degree). He also uses a Ping G2 Anser B putter. We know from the Ping website that hidden under the covers are a 7.5 degree Ping Rapture driver and an 18 degree Rapture Hybrid utility wood.
