Tiger Woods Gets Comfortable with the Gary Player Cup

PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem and Tiger Woods after winning the 2006 WGC Bridgestone Invitational at Firestone Country Club in August.

It seems that Tiger Woods posing with the Gary Player Cup in hand and smiling for the camera is almost becoming an annual routine!  It’s no wonder after Woods won the World Golf Championships - Bridgestone Invitational for the fifth time since the event was first staged at Firestone Country Club in Akron, Ohio seven years ago.

The World Golf Championships - Bridgestone Invitational is one of four World Golf Championships, which debuted in 1999. It is sanctioned and organized by the International Federation of PGA Tours.

The International Federation of PGA Tours, formed in 1996, created the World Golf Championships to enhance the competitive structure of professional golf worldwide while preserving the traditions and strengths of the six member Tours. The member Tours are the Asian PGA, European Tour, Japan Golf Tour, PGA TOUR, PGA Tour of Australasia and Southern Africa Tour. The Asian PGA became the sixth member of the Federation in November 1999, having joined as an associate member in 1998. In March 2000, it was announced that the Canadian Tour had been named an Associate Member of the Federation.
