BOB HARIG'S 5 THINGS TO WATCH
1. The second World Golf Championship event of the year -- and second in four weeks -- is at the Doral Resort in Miami and now is called the CA Championship. It replaces the American Express Championship, which Tiger Woods won last October in England. It also replaces a regular tour event held each year at Doral, which Woods also won a year ago.

2. Woods has gone 44 under par at Doral in winning the last two years and it will be interesting to see how he bounces back from a shocking final round Sunday at Bay Hill, where he had 43 on the back nine.

3. The CA Championship takes the place on the schedule of the Players Championship, which has been moved to May. The big difference is the field size, shrunk to just 73 players from the usual 144. There will be no 36-hole cut.

4. This is the last opportunity for players to try and qualify for the Masters, which still goes off the money list and not the FedEx Cup points. Mark Calcavecchia at No. 7 and Mark Wilson at No. 9 are the players inside the top 10 not otherwise invited. Charl Schwartzel of South Africa has an outisde shot of cracking the top 50 in the world and making it; he is 58th.

5. The Safeway International has attracted all top 60 money winners this year as players use the event as a tune-up for next week's Kraft Nabisco, the year's first major championship.
