Bridgestone Invitational

Dates: August 4-8, 2011
Site: Firestone Country Club, Akron, Ohio, USA
Format: 72-holes, stroke play, no cut

One of "the World Golf Championship's" most exciting events, the Bridgestone Invitational attracts some of the game's best players ala Tiger Woods, who has dominated this tournament since 1999. Tiger Woods has won this tournament - which was originally called the World Series of Golf - five times.

Firestone Country Club in Akron, Ohio will once again be the host of the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational. The 54-hole golf course is considered to be among the finest private courses in America. The WGC-Bridgestone is played on the Club's South Course.

The event has a field that is roughly half the size of a standard professional golf event.

PGA Tour betting enthusiasts focus their attention on Furyk and the rest of the Tour as they make their way to Akron, Ohio this week for the World Golf Championships – Bridgestone Invitational at the Firestone Country Club. Each one of the Tour’s top-fifteen players is entered in the field as a warm-up for the PGA Championship the following weekend.

• Being a playing member of the last US and International Presidents Cup teams

World Golf Championships Results

2011 Bridgestone International Results

Adam Scott broke away from the youth brigade with a flawless back nine Sunday to win the World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational at Firestone Country Club.

Scott, the old man at the top of the leaderboard at 31, did so with Steve Williams, a guy who seems to know how to win here, on his bag. Williams, fired last month by Tiger Woods, won for the eighth time at Firestone — seven with Woods and now with Scott. As the two walked up the 18th fairway with victory in hand, the overflow crowds were chanting as much for Williams as they were for Scott, who wrapped up the win with a short birdie putt to shoot 5-under-par 65 and finish at 17-under 263.
