The World Golf Championships were developed to enhance the competitive structure of professional golf worldwide while preserving the traditions and strengths of the individual tours and their events.
The Asian PGA joined the International Federation of PGA Tours as a full-fledged member in November 1999.
In March 2000, the Canadian Tour was added as an Associate Member. The World Golf Championships have been conducted on five different continents.
The Blue Monster project also involved a course-wide landscape renovation, as well as a complete bunker make-over of all bunkers on the course. The project included a complete cart path replacement, featuring new concrete to help improve course management. This was highlighted by the installation of special 10-foot-wide paths, with extra re-enforcement added to a few strategic areas of the course to help in CA Championship tournament set-up.
Tiger Woods won the 2007 CA Championship in March, the first time Doral Golf Resort & Spa hosted the tournament, which had previously been played at five different courses around the world. But the Blue Monster has tested TOUR players for many years, serving as host of a TOUR event since 1962.
The World Golf Championships feature elite players in a variety of competitive formats at venues around the world.
