The third WGC event begin today; The Bridgestone Invitational in Akron, Ohio at the Firestone Country Club. The tournament consists of only 75 players, who must be in the Top 50 of the World Golf Rankings or on a past Ryder or Presidents Cup team, in order to be "invited".
This tournament is probably most famous for having been won a record 7 times by Tiger Woods since 1999 and for having been Australian Adam Scott's first win in 2011 with Tiger Woods' former caddy, Steve Williams, which also happened to be Tiger's first event since his return to golf.
To me, I consider this tournament one of the more "elite" tournaments, simply since it contains only top members of the World Golf Rankings and there has been some good golf played at Firestone over the years. The tournament is popular to most golfers as it offers a high number of World Gold Ranking points.
As always I have a few picks who I think will win or place in the top 10:
1) Ian Poulter - ENG
2) Matteo Mannasarro - ITA
3) Martin Kaymer - GER
This will be one of the more exciting tournaments of the year, so be sure to watch it,
