Ford Championship at Doral Wiki Information
The Doral Open
was a PGA Tour golf tournament, contested from 1962 to 2006 on the "Blue Monster" course at the Doral Golf Resort & Spa in Doral, Florida, a suburb of Miami.
Beginning 2007, the WGC-CA Championship, a World Golf Championship event co-sponsored by the PGA Tour, took the Doral Open's spot on the schedule. This championship is also held at the Blue Monster course.

History
The tournament was played at various points in March, and sometimes in late February. Both the tournament's title and sponsor changed over the years, as one can see by viewing the Winners section below. The Doral Golf Resort & Spa was formerly known as the Doral Country Club and was the sister hotel to the famous Doral Hotel on the ocean in Miami Beach, Florida.
The tournament usually attracted one of the strongest fields on the PGA Tour outside of the major championships and the World Golf Championships, as evidenced by many of the champions, including Jack Nicklaus, Tom Weiskopf, Lee Trevino, Billy Casper, Raymond Floyd, Greg Norman, Ben Crenshaw, Tom Kite, Ernie Els and Jim Furyk.
In 2005, nine of the top ten players in the official world rankings participated and after an exciting fourth day duel with then-World Number 4 Phil Mickelson, Tiger Woods won by a shot to regain the number one ranking he had lost six months earlier to Vijay Singh, who finished in a tie for third.
The 2006 Ford Championship at Doral marked the end of the Doral Open tournament. Once again nine of the top ten golfers in the world were present, and once again Tiger Woods was victorious, a one-shot winner over Camilo Villegas and David Toms.
