One Day, Two Tournaments

by Mulligan Stu on Mar 24, 2008 8:52 AM EDT Comment 3 comments

There's an unusual circumstance taking place today: Some of the world's best golfers are playing in two different tournaments on the same day.

The CA Championship is wrapping up this morning in Miami. Then, a little later today in Orlando, the following golfers who finish the CA this morning will also start the Tavistock Cup:

Henrick Stenson
Tiger Woods
Charles Howell III
Daniel Chopra
J.B. Holmes
Ernie Els
Robert Allenby
Nick O'Hern
Retief Goosen
Craig Parry

Tavistock Cup officials pushed their start times back by about 2-and-a-half hours, and coverage on the Golf Channel is supposed to begin at approximately 1:30 p.m. ET.

Paula Creamer and Annika Sorenstam are playing this year, too, although neither gets to play on Day 1. They face each other in Day 2 singles.

Is there an airport close to the course ?

Play is supposed to start this morning around 8:30 and the leaders were in the fairway at 10.

It looks like Tiger is the only one who will have to rush to get back to Orlando.

Finish between 10:30 and 11, 30 minutes to pack up and drive to the airport around the corner - an hour to Orlando (with all the airport traffic and taxiing) - then over to the golf course by 1:00 ?

whew ! I'm getting tight thinking about it.

"this ball will fit in that fairway"

hmmm

I guess it's cool that Annika and Paula get to play with the guys, but I wonder if that's the best way to tune up for the Prospector course. Ah, whatever. They'll be fine!
