Tiger impressed with $7 mln HSBC field
5 November 2009 / AP, SHANGHAI
Five years after Tiger Woods first showed up in Shanghai, he is amazed that the HSBC Champions has grown so quickly into a World Golf Championship that has attracted its strongest field ever.
The world’s No. 1 player helped kick off the week Tuesday by hitting golf balls into the river at Shanghai with three past champions -- Phil Mickelson, Sergio Garcia and Y.E. Yang, who rallied to beat Woods at the PGA Championship this year. Woods has won 16 of the 30 WGC events he has played. In his two trips to the HSBC Champions, he has been runner-up both times. The $7 million tournament -- the richest in Asia -- begins today at Sheshan Golf Club. Woods and Mickelson are competing for the first time together in Asia, part of a 78-man field that includes 15 of the top 20 players in the world ranking.
