So much for "The Big Miss".

After his first PGA Tour victory in 30 months, Tiger Woods is once again golf's big hit. His five-shot win at Bay Hill was his first proper Tour win since his career was turned upside down by revelations about his private life.

This victory came at the start of a week in which the book written is published. "The Big Miss" is the most revealing account yet of Woods' life.

Fitness is such a key component. The world's top three, Rory McIlroy, Luke Donald and Lee Westwood have reaped the benefits of punishing gym regimes. And add to that list the winner at Doral.

New world number one Rory McIlroy has the potential to dominate golf for years to come.

Very few players make it to the top of the rankings. McIlroy is only the 16th in the 24 years that golfing status has been officially measured.

In the short term there may be occasions when he will be toppled from top spot because of the congested nature of the rankings, but aged just 22 he seems destined to spend many weeks as golf's top man.

The youngster from Northern Ireland fulfilled his childhood dream just seven days after missing his first chance of hitting golf's summit. That tells you all you need to know about his star quality and competitive instincts.
