About the WGC CA Championship:
The WGC CA Championship debuted as part of the World Golf Championships series in 1999. The tournament originally rotated from course to course each year, but beginning in 2007 is permanently housed at the Doral Country Club in Doral, Fla., and has replaced that site's previous event, the Doral Open, on the PGA Tour schedule. The CA Championship is a limited-field event with entry determined mostly by money list ranking, but also by FedEx Cup points and World Ranking points.
