10. WGC-Cadillac Championship (Adam Scott)

This is always a tough area to rank. Too many options with too little room. Vaughn Taylor’s seven-under-par on Sunday to beat the mighty Phil Mickleson at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, Jim Herman’s masterful performance at the Shell Houston Open to win his first Tour event in 105 tries are both worthy candidates of taking this slot.

But the WGC Cadillac stands above them in entertainment and celebrity value. Just look at the leaderboard at the end of Sunday: Adam Scott, Bubba Watson, Rory McIlroy, Danny Willett, Phil Mickelson, Jimmy Walker, Paul Casey and Rickie Fowler all finished in the top-eight.

Add in Scott’s incredible up-and-down on the final day on 18 to preserve his one stroke lead, and you have the makings of a high caliber tournament that any major tournament operator would love to have on their hands.
