Two years after his last victory, Francesco Molinari dreams of returning to success in the Arnold Palmer Invitational, the PGA Tour golf tournament scheduled from tomorrow to Sunday (March 4-7) in Orlando. In Florida, where he won in 2019 thanks to a great comeback in the final lap, Chicco Molinari aims to return to the circle of winners.
In 2020 at the Bay Hill Club & Lodge, where in 7 appearances he collected one victory and three top 10, the Piedmontese for a back injury arrived at the last moment was unable to defend the title - canceling himself from the field - then won by the British Tyrrell Hatton who wore the famous "red cardigan" symbol of an event dedicated to the legend Arnold Palmer.
Francesco Molinari, situation
After three placings among the top ten in the first four appearances of 2021 (not since 2019) the blue is called to confirm his good form. And the circumstances also appear to be favorable. In Florida he will miss the whole Top 5 of the world ranking with Dustin Johnson (the king of men's golf), Jon Rahm, Justin Thomas, Collin Morikawa and Xander Schauffele who will not be in the game. Among the big names, in addition to Hatton (sixth in the ranking) there are Rory McIlroy (eighth in the world and winner of the competition in 2018) and Patrick Reed (ninth). In the field there is also the Californian Bryson DeChambeau, a great protagonist in 2020 and among the disappointments of this first part of the season. In Orlando also an opportunity for the Norwegian Viktor Hovland, runner up at the WGC-Concession (won by Morikawa) and now in second place in the FedEx Cup.
The Arnold Palmer in 2020 was the last tournament completed before Covid's 3-month hiatus at the end of the first round of The Players Championship. The competition will offer a prize pool of $ 9,300,000.
After the WGC and the Puerto Rico Open (PGA Tour), the Top 3 of the world men's golf ranking remains unchanged. Despite the disappointing 54th place in the WGC, the American Dustin Johnson maintained the leadership with 12.1973 points. Behind him, at a safe distance, is the Spaniard Jon Rahm, second with 8.9872, and the American Justin Thomas, always 3rd with 8.3288.
With his first career success in a WGC, Collin Morikawa jumped from 6th to 4th position (8.1043). Step back to Xander Schauffele, 5° with 7.3261, and Tyrrell Hatton, 6° with 6.6204. Patrick Cantlay (6.4662) and Rory McIlroy (6.4580) remained stable at 7th and 8th respectively. Patrick Reed is among the top 10, from 11° to 9° (6.4499). He closes the Top 10 Webb Simpson (6.4495). With the exploit in the Puerto Rico Open the South African Branden Grace (1.5659) went from 147° to 83° position. While Francesco Molinari, who this week will return to the race in Florida at Arnold Palmer (4-7 March), an event of the PGA Tour won by the Italian in 2019, has slipped from 85° to 91° position (1.5375).

Five weeks after losing his father Peter to Covid, Branden Grace wins his second career title on the PGA Tour. Almost five years after his first success (RBC Heritage in April 2016) the South African player in Rio Grande thanks to an eagle and a birdie in the final match made the Puerto Rico Open his own. Important success for the 32-year-old from Pretoria who returns to the top 100 players in the world jumping from 147 / a to 83 / a position.
Branden Grace, Puerto Rico Open
On the course of the Grand Reserve Country Club (par 72), in an event that involved many of the second lines of men's golf - with the big protagonists at the WGC - Grace with a partial bogey free final highlighted by a 66 (-6) on a total of 269 (-19) outperformed Venezuelan Jhonattan Vegas in the photo finish, second with 270 (-18). Third place (272, -16) for the American Grayson Murray and the Puerto Rican Rafael Campos, both in the lead after the "moving day". The feat at the Puerto Rico Open also earned Grace a check for $ 540,000 on a total prize money of 3,000,000.
Meanwhile, Collin Morikawa wins the World Golf Championships-Workday Championship at The Concession in Florida and emulates his legend of all time, Woods, becoming the only player - along with Tiger - to win a Major (the PGA Championship in 2020) and a WGC before of 25 years. In Bradenton, Morikawa's show company dedicates its success to "The Big Cat", in the most difficult days for Woods, involved in a serious car accident.
"Tiger means everything to me. Luckily he is better now and I hope he can recover as soon as possible. Every time in life we lose people we love without thanking them enough for what they did. My grandfather passed away a month ago and this I want to dedicate victory to him and to Woods ". This is Morikawa's tribute at the end of the race.
After having mortgaged the success on the "moving day" the 24-year-old from Los Angeles with a partial final of 69 (-3) out of a total of 270 (-18), he crossed the line first with three strokes ahead of a trio of 'pursuers composed of compatriots Brooks Koepka and Billy Horschel, as well as the Norwegian Viktor Hovland, all second with 273 (-15). Fifth place (274, -14) for Scottie Scheffler, 6 / o (276, -12) for Rory McIlroy (for him the "WGC Slam is postponed), Louis Oosthuizen and Webb Simpson. Top 10 for Patrick Reed (defending champion) , 9 / o (277, -11) as Jason Kokrak.

During his very long career, which officially began way back in 1998, the Swiss Roger Federer has achieved 1242 victories against only 271 defeats, with a success rate of over 80%. In singles he earned almost 130 million dollars, second only to Serbian Novak Djokovic (with 147 million). Roger won 103 ATP titles and occupies the second position in this special ranking, still led by the American Jimmy Connors (at 109). With his 20 Grand Slam trophies, the Swiss is now forced to share his record with arch rival Rafael Nadal, who last October at Roland Garros marked his thirteenth seal on clay in Paris. Roger Federer's last ATP Tour event was last year's Australian Open, where he made it to the semi-finals before being beaten by Djokovic in three sets. The champion's return will take place in a few weeks at the Qatar ExxonMobil Open in Doha, scheduled for March 8-13. Federer holds the record for tournament victories, having triumphed here on three occasions (2005, 2006 and 2011). Last year the Russian Andrei Rublev won against Corentin Moutet, with a score of 6-2 7-6. On the occasion of his return to Qatar, Uniqlo presented the suit that the champion from Basel will show off in the prestigious ATP 250: in the images we see two shirts, one dark green and the other white, with green on the sleeves. Absent the famous “RF” logo, which instead appears on the two caps (it is possible that Federer will return to wear it starting from Wimbledon). After the Doha round, King Roger's participation in the Dubai Tennis Championships cannot be ruled out, where he also boasts the record of successes (eight, between 2003 and 2019). Roger Federer's comeback is being eagerly awaited by millions across the world. The 20-time Grand Slam champion is scheduled to return to the men's tour in early March, after more than a year on the sidelines. Former World No. 2 Michael Stich believes that a ninth Wimbledon title would serve as the perfect setting for Federer to announce his retirement.
Stich on Roger Federer
"You should never write Roger Federer off because he is a player who has a gifted set of skills that help him to still play tennis that good at his age," Michael Stich said. "But especially at Wimbledon, Roger Federer is certainly still a candidate for the title, because there he has this mental strength, because there he has the greatest joy." Stich also asserted that Federer has nothing left to prove, and that he is only returning because he believes he can still win titles. "Roger Federer has nothing to lose," Stich went on. "He doesn't have to prove anything to himself, he doesn't have to prove anything to the fans out there. He's really doing it because he thinks he can still win titles."

Novak Djokovic did not like the allegations about the physical problems accused at the Australian Open. Who still managed to win for the umpteenth time by crashing Daniil Medveded in the final. "There will always be someone ready to doubt everything I say and do - underlined the Serbian champion -: I just have to accept the fact that I can't please everyone. Of course this can't make me happy, but I also know that everyone has the right to express their opinion. I suffered a tear in the oblique abdominal: I cannot change people's thinking but I can say that some things sadden me." Novak Djokovic’s father Srdjan Djokovic recently took a swipe at Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal while speaking in glowing terms about his son’s nature.
Novak Djokovic’s father on Federer and Nadal
Speaking to Kurir, Novak Djokovic’s father pointed out that his son always provides a helping hand to his colleagues, even though Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal seldom throw their weight behind him. "Novak always helps them (his peers), and without the support from the (rest of the) Big 3," Srdjan said. "Between the three Big 3 players, it's him against the other two." According to the 60-year-old, Novak Djokovic never champions causes that would benefit himself but instead strives to ensure that the less-privileged players get a share of the pie. "It is a hand-to-hand fight between himself and everyone else on the other side," Novak Djokovic’s father continued. "And he is not fighting for himself and his interests, but for tennis players who can barely make ends meet." World No. 1 Novak Djokovic will be part of the Miami Open 2021. Along with the recently crowned Australian Open champion, superstars such as Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal will feature at this event. Since organizers have postponed the Indian Wells, the Miami Open will be the first Masters 1000 tournament of the new season. In the previous season, the ‘sunshine double’ (Indian Wells and Miami Open) was canceled in wake of the COVID-19 global pandemic. Prior to that, the event was held successfully in 2019, where Roger Federer was crowned champion in the men’s category and the World No.1 Ashleigh Barty had won the women’s event. Another noteworthy statistic of this tournament is that Djokovic was the youngest player to win this event as a 19-year-old teenager in 2007. On the other hand, Federer is the oldest player to win this event as a 37-year-old in 2019.

Tiger Woods was transferred from Harbor-UCLA to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, a hospital located in West Hollywood (Los Angeles County, California), "to continue orthopedic care and recovery."
Tiger Woods, the situation
This was announced by Anish Mahajan Chief Medical Officer and interim CEO of the hospital where the golf champion was operated on for serious leg injuries after a bad car accident. The former number 1 on the men's "green" underwent surgery to repair significant orthopedic injuries to his right leg and ankle.
Alex Villanueva, Los Angeles County Sheriff, said thar "Tiger Woods wasn't drunk, it was just an accident".
Investigators found no evidence that the golf champion was under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Deputy Sheriff Carlos Gonzalez, the first to arrive at the scene of the accident, often patrols the road and said he surprised people who exceed 129 km/ h, and that accidents are common.
Even Justin King, a California-based personal injury attorney, said that if investigators prove the road is unsafe and therefore contributed to the Woods accident, the council that controls it could be held responsible. The incident occurred on the border between the Rolling Hills Estates and Rancho Palos Verdes communities, and the county supervisor representing the area requested a safety review. Meanwhile Villanueva added that investigators may request a Woods blood sample to definitively rule out drugs and alcohol. In addition, the option of asking for search warrants for the cell phone of the US star and checking if he was distracted at the time of the crash is considered, as well as data from the car's black box, which would provide information on the speed of the car.
Few days ago, Tiger Woods said he's didn't know when he would return from a fifth back surgery, and he could not give a definitive answer Sunday when asked if he would be at the Masters.
"God, I hope so", Woods on the CBS broadcast of The Genesis Invitational.
Woods, at Riviera to hand out the trophy as the tournament host, had a microdiscectomy Dec. 23. It was the fifth surgery on his back, and the first since a procedure to fuse his lower spine in April 2017.
"I'm feeling fine. I'm a little bit stiff. I have one more MRI scheduled so that we'll see if the annulus (fibrosus) is scarred over finally and see if I can start doing more activities. But still in the gym, still doing the mundane stuff that you have to do for rehab, the little things before I can start gravitating towards something a little more".
Woods had not played since he joined 11-year-old Charlie at the PNC Challenge a few days before his surgery. "I don't know what the plan is", he said when asked if he would try to play before the Masters.
