Tiger Woods is back in action in his final pre-Masters tournaments (and The Masters is only two weeks away, by the way). Woods has six wins in this tournament, including one stretch (2000-2003) of four straight victories. And in 2009, this is where Woods first won again in his return to golf following knee surgery.
The stellar field also includes Ernie Els, Rickie Fowler, Jim Furyk, Sergio Garcia, Ryo Ishikawa, Dustin Johnson, Zach Johnson, Hunter Mahan, Matteo Manassero, Graeme McDowell, Phil Mickelson, Edoardo Molinari, Ian Poulter, Vijay Singh, Camilo Villegas and Bubba Watson.
Arnold Palmer's relationship with Bay Hill Club goes back to 1965. Palmer eventually bought the club and brought this tournament to his club in 1979. We have some photos of Arnie's very first visit to Bay Hill in 1965 for an exhibition match against Jack Nicklaus. Check it out to read more about the Palmer/Bay Hill history.
