I’ve been to Doral for the past seven years running. Yet this year, being that the economy is what it is, I will probably miss the event. Too bad, it would have been awesome to see Tiger and Phil paired up; maybe I’ll return next year.
By the way, I predict that Tiger Woods will win at least 1, probably 2 majors this year. TGO

DORAL, Fla. – Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson will be in the same group at Doral for the first time this year.
The Cadillac Championship decided to base the groups for the first two rounds on the rankings. It’s similar to what the European Tour did in Dubai last month and the U.S. Open did at Torrey Pines in 2008.
That puts Martin Kaymer, the new No. 1., in the same group with Lee Westwood and Match Play winner Luke Donald. However, the greater focus will be on the next batch of players — Graeme McDowell at No. 4, Woods and Mickelson.
Woods and Mickelson have combined for 122 worldwide wins and 18 majors.
It will be the 27th time they have been in the same group. Mickelson has gotten the better of Woods recently. Woods has shot the lower score only once in the last eight times.
Hopefully we’ll be seeing them in some Sunday pairings this year. Golf needs both to rebound. Mickelson and Woods along with some of the young guns would be awesome.
