WGC-Cadillac Championship adds 10 top players to 2013 field
DORAL, Fla. – Several key positions for the World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship field were finalized following Matt Kuchar's victory at the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship. A total of 10 players including Padraig Harrington, Jason Day, Martin Kaymer, Tim Clark and Richard Sterne secured their positions in the Cadillac Championship field through either their spots in the top 50 in the Official World Golf Ranking or the top 10 in the European Tour's Race to Dubai standings. As it stands, 49 of the top 50 in the world have committed to play (No. 46, Hiroyuki Fujita last in top 50 yet to commit) when the best players from across the globe come Trump Doral on March 6-10 for the second World Golf Championships event of the season.
"We say it all of the time that the field for the Cadillac Championship is one of the strongest fields in golf," said Tournament Chairman Butch Buchholz. "But when you go through the names – Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, Phil Mickelson, Luke Donald, Justin Rose, Matt Kuchar, Adam Scott, Lee Westwood, Keegan Bradley, Bubba Watson, Dustin Johnson, Hunter Mahan, Graeme McDowell, Rickie Fowler, Brandt Snedeker – it is difficult to find the words to describe the talent that will be on hand here at Trump Doral next week. When you put together the field that we will have, this incredible resort, the challenging golf course with the exciting fan initiatives in place like the fashion show and DJ Taboo concert, this year is going to be the best Cadillac Championship to date."
