The top 30 players from the final 2010 FedExCup standings, the top 20 players from the 2010 European Tour Race to Dubai and the top 10 players from both the 2011 FedExCup Standings and 2011 European Tour Race to Dubai, if not otherwise qualified as of March 7 and February 28, respectively. The bottom line is that the field is LOADED

The venue for the 2011 Cadillac Championship is the TPC Blue Monster at Doral, a storied venue on the PGA TOUR for many years. Its newly resurfaced greens will provide a great test of golf for the best players in the world. Originally designed by Dick Wilson, golfers won't find a more challenging or spectacular golf course. At 7,125 yards from the tournament tees, and with a series of strategically placed bunkers, both length and finesse are needed to score well on this historic course. The Blue Monster features long fairways, undulating green, a deep Bermuda rough and a unique assortment of water hazards. The famous 18th hole, with its signature fountain, was ranked by GOLF Magazine as one of the Top 100 Holes in the World.

Ernie Els is the defending champion and NBC will once again do the television. Can Tiger regain his past form? Will an American win? Or…will the Europeans continue to dominate. The Blue Monster is waiting for the professional’s arrival for this year’s Cadillac Championship.

NBA VEGAS ODDS - Detroit Pistons at San Antonio Spurs

NBA Betting: The NBA Vegas odds matchup between the Pistons and Spurs will take place Wednesday, March 9 at 8:30 p.m. ET at AT&T Center in San Antonio.

These teams met in Detroit on February 8 and San Antonio earned a 100-89 decision as a 6.5-point favorite. The Pistons are 3-7 in their last 10 games overall (5-5 ATS). The Spurs have won seven of their last 11 outings but are just 4-7 ATS during that stretch.

NBA VEGAS ODDS PREVIEW
Now that John Kuester, Richard Hamilton and the rest of the team have made up since the season-long soap opera came to a head, the Pistons actually look like a professional basketball club.

Shortly after the mutiny in Philadelphia, Kuester opened every position up for competition. Hamilton earned a role back in the rotation and there was a changing of the point guard.

Rodney Stuckey started the season at point but was replaced by Tracy McGrady after he went down with an injury. Upon his return, Stuckey shifted to the two-guard because T-Mac was playing well. Well, the grizzled vet hasn’t stepped onto the floor since skipping practice and Stuckey is running the offense once again.

In four games since taking over at the point, Stuckey is averaging 20.8 points, 8.0 assists and 6.0 rebounds. The Pistons have played to the OVER in three of those four contests mostly because Stuckey is commanding a quicker pace. The tempo is faster than it was with McGrady and the team is moving the ball around more fluidly.

"I'm just pushing the ball," said Stuckey. "I love to play fast. I think that's when we're at our best."

Detroit is coming off a 113-102 win over the Wizards on Sunday. This matchup marks the first of a formidable road trip where the Pistons will see Oklahoma City and Denver following San Antonio.

The Spurs should be eager to take out some frustration Wednesday night. They were manhandled by Los Angeles at home last weekend, snapping a 22-game win streak at AT&T Center.

But the loss didn’t take too much of a toll on the veteran-laden club. After beating the Lakers in the first three meetings of the season, Sunday’s matchup was more of a statement game for the visiting team than San Antonio. Like they have all season, the Spurs went into energy-saving mode when trailing by almost 30 points, resting starters and providing playing time for reserves.

Reports last week had Tony Parker out for two to four weeks with an injured foot. But he was back by Friday, citing that he didn’t need as much rest as the doctors said he would.

The home team will be listed as double-digit favorites when the NBA Vegas odds are posted for this matchup. Gregg Popovich’s squad has done a great job of destroying the NBA’s bottom-feeding teams this season and it should earn another blowout victory Wednesday. The OVER should also be a good bet because of the Pistons’ amped paced.
