THINGS TO WATCH ...

1. Geoff Ogilvy''s attempt to win all three World Golf Championships events

Geoff Ogilvy, winner of World Golf Championships-CA Championship earlier this year and also the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship in 2006, has a chance to join Tiger Woods as the only other player to win all three World Golf Championships events. The 30-year-old Australian, along with Woods and Darren Clarke, is one of three players who have won more than one individual World Golf Championships title.

Ogilvy recorded his fourth PGA Tour victory this year at Doral Golf Resort & Spa with a one-stroke win over Retief Goosen, Vijay Singh and Jim Furyk. The victory snapped Woods'' then four-tournament win streak. Woods finished three strokes back.

In addition to 28-year-old Sergio Garcia, Ogilvy became the only player currently 30 years of age or younger to have three victories in events in which Tiger Woods was in the field. Ogilvy''s wins with Woods in the field have come at the 2008 CA Championship, 2006 U.S. Open and the 2006 Accenture Match Play Championship. Garcia''s wins with Woods in the field came at the 2001 Buick Classic, 2002 Mercedes Benz Championship and the 2004 EDS Byron Nelson Championship.

Ogilvy will be making his fourth appearance at the Bridgestone Invitational. In three previous attempts, the Australian''s best finish was T36 in 2006.
