Definitely the Memorial at Muirfield Village. The course is beautiful, the field is always great, the concept is wonderful. If you've never been to it, do yourself a favor and attend it just once, you'll be glad you did.

I enjoy watching Bay Hill, The Players, EDS Byron Nelson and Accenture Match Play but Westchester Country Club is one of my favourite courses and Muirfield Village is also a nice course.

Anything but World Golf Championships

For me, it has to be the Memorial Tournament. Muirfield Village is such a great course and in late May/early June in Ohio, the whole place is green as can be. Plus it's Jack's tournament, and it attracts one of the strongest fields each year, generally producing a strong winner as well.

Other events I really like are the WGC-NEC, Canadian Open, and the WGC-Accenture Matchplay.
Anything that is not a World Golf Championship (excpet maybe the Match Play). They have done more to damage the regular tour events than anyhting else.

The fanatic has a great point here. The WGC events were envisioned as vehicles to get the game's top players together more often and, to a certain degree, this has worked.

But the WGC events have also, in my opinion, had a negative impact on tournaments like The Colonial, Western Open and Doral. I suppose it's an evolution of sorts.

I am afraid as long as Tiger continues to dominate these events, they will succeed. I hope that he quits dominating these events, so these events can fade. Our tour is becoming more like the European tour. We have our minor events now like B.C., Southern Farm, Tucson, and Reno.
