2010 WGC-CA Championship


The 2010 WGC-CA Championship was a golf tournament held March 11–14 at Doral Golf Resort & Spa in Doral, Florida, a suburb west of Miami. It was the eleventh WGC-CA Championship tournament, and the second of four World Golf Championships events staged in 2010.
The only players eligible to compete who did not enter were six-time champion Tiger Woods and Ryo Ishikawa.
Ernie Els, the 2004 champion, won his second WGC title with a bogey-free 66 in the final round, four strokes ahead of runner-up Charl Schwartzel, the 54-hole co-leader with Els.
