Eddie Carbone Quotations

We had five or six players that would have been in the tournament, but weren't in the tournament. There seemed to be a lot more changes this year.

Maybe there's some more magic left in this Ford Championship.

She puts all the pieces together. I promote the tournament, work with the players. She runs the tournament.

We are thrilled to have the world's most recognizable athlete return to Doral to defend his championship. With Tiger's commitment, we will have nine of the top 10 golfers in the world golf rankings vying for one the most coveted trophies on the PGA Tour.

We've done everything we can. If the field plays out like we think it can, there's some pieces here that could morph into something like last year.

That will make the greens firmer and it will make it more difficult for the PGA Tour professionals to throw darts. I think that will address the issues the players have. I'm as surprised as anyone by the low scores. This isn't what I saw happening at the beginning of the week.

In a word, ridiculous. It is totally beyond comprehension. This is huge for golf fans, and South Florida is set for a dramatic showdown on the Blue Monster next week.

The rain on Sunday night combined with the warm temperatures have caused us to lose the over-seed on our greens and you can't have that happen. With a cold front moving through the next couple of days with more wind, the greens should get faster.

Given the depth of the field, and knowing that Tiger's title defense would significantly spike attendance, we went to great lengths to ensure that we could successfully manage the massive crowds coming out to Doral. To have 265,000 golf fans turn out over a two-year period, for what has become one of the premiere events on the PGA TOUR, is a testament to just how big of a family event this tournament has become in South Florida.
