My favorite would have to be...WOW, they play so many great places but if I had to pick just one...Sawgrass.

I'd have to say either the Memorial Tournament or the NEC Invitational.

Has to be the B.C. Open.... well maybe not. I would have to say my favorite would be The Western Open. It's the closest to where I live and I'm seriously thinking about scoring some tickets to it this year...

Yeah, watching every hack by Ray Romano and his CBS buddy Kevin James is a real treat. The Pebble Beach Pro-Am used to be a favorite of mine until those two started dominating the "celebrity" coverage.

My favorite has to be the Buick Open in Grand Blanc, MI because I attend every year and I get to play the course 3-4 times a year. Makes you really appreciate what PGA Tour players can do with a golf ball!

I have two. First is the Chrysler Championship of Tampa Bay because it's played in my backyard and a lot of big names come to the tourney. Second would be the Mercedes b/c it starts the golf season.

In the US Pebble or Riviera.... in Europe the Dunhill Links, St Andrews, Carnoustie and Kingsbarns....plus Wentworth.

I know that 4 of those have actually hosted majors and the world matchplay didnt become a counting event until last season, but I thought it best not to get bogged down in technicalities.

I have always been a fan of the Doral event. With the finish to this years event, I imagine there might be a few more fans.

Remember this, I know Phil does

Well, after visiting and seeing the laid back atmosphere, and if the field was a little stronger, I'd say the Heritage...I also like the Memorial, but I gotta go with Pebble!

Any event besides the World Golf Championships. They are helping our tour become like the PGA (weaken the weak events).

It's hard to top the Wendy's Three-Tour Challenge...

... but I will say The Memorial.
