DORAL, Fla. – The WGC-Cadillac Championship kept with its tradition of grouping players together based on the Official World Golf Ranking.
That means Rory McIlroy, who would’ve had the entire golf world watching his every move anyway because of last week’s WD, is grouped with Tiger Woods for the first two rounds at Doral. The third member of the group is Luke Donald. They will go off the 10th tee Thursday at 11:53 a.m. ET and the first tee Friday at 12:59 p.m. ET. (Click for full tee times)
