Camilo Villegas is coming off a victory in the Honda Classic last week and might be the hottest player in golf. In five tournaments, the only time he failed to finish in the top 10 was his season debut in Abu Dhabi, where he tied for 19th.

“Obviously, I’ve had a good start for the year,” Villegas said. “But it’s not the way I think. Just try to keep going. I’ve had a great attitude all year, and I came pretty close in Match Play and I had a chance there at Phoenix. But tomorrow is Thursday, and trust me, every Thursday, we start from zero. It’s time to forget what happened the previous week.”

Ian Poulter is three weeks removed from his first victory in America at the Match Play Championship, while Ogilvy is a past WGC winner at Doral who opened the year with a victory in Kapalua.

The other winners on the PGA Tour are Ryan Palmer, Bill Haas, Ben Crane, Dustin Johnson, Cameron Beckman and Hunter Mahan.

“It’s not an oddity or a coincidence. It’s only an oddity when you have 25 winners in 25 tournaments,” British Open champion Stewart Cink said. Then he added with a wink and a smile, “Besides, I’m winning the next two.”

Stricker began his PGA Tour career when it was a big deal for any player to win more than four times in one season. Nick Price (six wins in 1994) was the only player to do that in the 15 years before Woods showed up. Since then, Woods has gone only three seasons when he didn’t win at least four times, one of those as a rookie in 1996 when he played only eight tournaments (and won two).

“He makes it look easy, but it’s not,” Stricker said. “But it’s good for the game when we get both — a variety of winners, and it’s good when we get guys who continuously win. Everyone loves David against Goliath. It’s good to have top guys going down the stretch against a guy who doesn’t win as much.”

Two months into Woods’ infidelity break, it has been hard to identify the top guys who win all the time.
