If Geoff Ogilvy continues to prevail against topnotch fields, the '09 season could be stellar for the Aussie. After all, the '06 U.S. Open champion won his second World Golf Championships event in 2008, ending Tiger Woods' five-tournament win streak in the process. Ogilvy held at least a share of the lead after every round of the CA Championship, and he was one ahead with nine holes remaining when play was suspended due to darkness after storms. He parred in and beat Vijay Singh, Retief Goosen and Jim Furyk by one stroke. The four-time champ tied for second in his next start at the Shell Houston Open, another in a string of six top 10s in '08. He earned $2.9 million to rank 15th on the money list and played in three Playoffs events before finishing 32nd. -- Helen Ross
