Preview

Tiger plays for the first time in 07 this week as he looks to increase his PGA Tour winning streak to seven consecutive tournaments, dating back to last season’s British Open victory. Last season Tiger beat Nathan Green in a playoff to win the Buick Invitational for the second consecutive year, and the fourth time in his career. Tiger has never finished outside of the top 10 in this event. In other words he’s a heavy favorite to keep his current streaks alive at Torrey Pines.

Also look for Phil to do well this week. He has won this event 3 times (last win in 2001) and is looking to bounce back from a disappointing finish last week. Will there be a Tiger/Phil final pairing on Sunday? We can only hope.

Current FedEx point #1 Vijay Singh is also in the field at the Buick Invitational. Vijay has only played this event twice since 2000, finishing 11th in 02 and 24th in 05, and is always a threat to win. Also look out for Lucas Glover, who was tied for 1st going into the final round last week. Glover finished T4 here in 06, while missing the cut in 04 and 05.
