Geoff Ogilvy looks to stay perfect at the Wells Fargo Championship, having never missed a cut in eight prior trips to Quail Hollow.
In half of those appearances, the Aussie has cracked the top 25 but has nothing better than a couple of ties for 10th. Absent his runner-up at The Honda Classic, he’s only made three cuts in his nine other starts and hasn’t found his way inside the top 25. Perhaps he snaps his streak of two missed cuts this week, but shouldn’t be counted on for a big payday. Apr 30 - 8:25 PM

Geoff Ogilvy has been removed from the published field of this week's Valero Texas Open.

After missing the cut at Redstone last week, it was only a matter of time before he'd learn that he'd fall outside the top 50 in the Official World Golf Ranking and fail to secure a berth in next week's Masters. Indeed, he dropped five spots to 55th in the latest update. The last tee time at Augusta National will go to the champion of the VTO if not already eligible, but Ogilvy clearly believes that his game isn't in shape to win a tournament right now.

Geoff Ogilvy carded a 2-under-par 33-37=70 in his opening round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational.

Here he is again, wedging his way into our consciousness. The Aussie continues to play well at times. He split 12 (of 14) fairways and hit 16 greens in regulation at Bay Hill today. Alas, he bogeyed both holes where he failed to hit his GIRs, but he converted four birdies to offset the damage. All of his birdies dropped in from holes 11-16, including rolls from 13'8" at 11 and 14'11" at 14. He signed his card sitting five strokes adrift of the clubhouse lead.

Geoff Ogilvy looped the Copperhead Course at Innisbrook Resort in 2-under-par 33-36=69 in his opening round of the Tampa Bay Championship.

After the Aussie reminded us in the form of a runner-up at The Honda Classic that he still has game, he faded to a T47 at last week's WGC-Cadillac Championship. Copperhead has been relatively kind to Ogilvy in his last four starts, two of which resulted in a top 20; he placed no worse than T28 twice either. He hit 10 greens today and complemented a 12-yard hole-out for eagle at the par-5 fifth hole with three birdies, including conversions from 20'10" at 9 and 13'6" at 17. Alas, it wasn't all koala bears and eucalyptus as he also carded three bogeys, all as a result of par misses from inside eight feet. He concluded his round sitting two strokes adrift of the clubhouse lead.

Geoff Ogilvy nearly played flawless golf in the final round of The Honda Classic, turning in a 1-under-par 35-34=69 to finish his week at 7-under 273, good for a solo runner-up finish.

The former U.S. Open winner played PGA National like it was the national championship, making pars on each of his first 13 holes and surviving the conditions. Ogilvy suffered his lone blemish of the round on the par-4 14th when his drive found a fairway bunker; he had to lay back on his second shot. The Aussie bounced back with a birdie on the par-3 15th and reached red figures for the first time in his round with a two-putt birdie on the 18th. Given he had missed his last four cuts entering this week, his performance was a pleasant surprise. Shortly after the conclusion of the tournament, it was confirmed that Ogilvy has climbed into the top 50 of the Official World Golf Ranking, thus earning a berth into this week's World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship. He rose 32 spots to 47th. It's hard to believe but he's not yet eligible for the Masters.

Geoff Ogilvy fought back to shoot an even-par 35-35=70 in the third round of The Honda Classic, joining Lee Westwood in the clubhouse lead at 6-under 204.

With three bogeys surrounding one birdie in his first four holes, the Aussie found himself in survival mode early and often. He responded with birdie on eight and nine to square his nine to level. He then scrambled for a birdie on the par-5 18th after being over the green in two to erase his only bogey of the back nine on the par-4 16th. It's been a poor year for Ogilvy, with four missed cuts in five starts before this week, but all will be forgotten if he closes the deal in Sunday's finale.

Geoff Ogilvy turned in a 4-under-par 30-36=66 for his second round of The Honda Classic to reach the midpoint in 6-under 134, two strokes in arrears of the 36-hole clubhouse lead.

Assuming unforeseen circumstances on the weekend, Ogilvy's streak of failing to cash will end at four starts. He secured this week's payday with a brilliant run of bogey-free golf on his opening nine today. It included five birdies and featured a conversion from 26'1" at the first hole to set the tone. He rolled in his third from 10'7" at 7 before holing out from the greenside rough at the par-3 eighth for another birdie. The Aussie then punctuated his outward side with one more at the ninth, this time from 26'8". This is Ogilvy's first appearance at PGA National.

Geoff Ogilvy has to be glad to leave the West Coast for The Honda Classic when you consider how badly the veteran struggled to start the year.

Given his residence in Arizona, it’s a little surprising he only saw the weekend once in five starts. With a pedigree as solid as his and a history on TOUR that includes a U.S. Open win at Winged Foot, we are forced to give him the benefit of the doubt that he can get things back on track. He’s clearly trying to shake things up a bit, since he’s never played at PGA National before this week.

Geoff Ogilvy looks to put a mediocre 2012 behind him as a starts a new year at the Humana Challenge.

The former U.S. Open winner is shaking things up a little to start the year. You have to look all the way back to 2005 to find him teeing it up in this event. Seeing as he tied for 75th, it’s not a surprise this tournament fell off his schedule for a bit. His best finish here was a T20 in 2004.

Geoff Ogilvy didn’t have any trouble earning weekend tee times on the 2012 PGA TOUR, but really did nothing to contend all season.

Missing just two cuts in 20 tries and nailing down top 25s in half of his starts sounds solid, but his only top 10 came when he tied for ninth at The Open Championship. He will try and get back on track to join the game’s elite, as he did when he claimed the 2006 U.S. Open at Winged Foot, but will need to improve on his 100th-ranked ball-striking if he is do so. His last win on TOUR was the 2010 Hyundai Tournament of Champions.

Geoff Ogilvy has enjoyed a steady 2012 campaign, but looks for his first win since the 2010 Australian Open this week at the World Golf Championships–HSBC Champions.

Ogilvy has just one top 10 this year, and that came in the form of a share of ninth at the British Open. He’s only failed to cash a check in two events in all of 2012, and none since the U.S. Open. The survivor of the 2006 U.S. Open at Winged Foot needs a bounce as he begins his preparation for 2013. He tied for 56th in this event last season.

Geoff Ogilvy carded a bogey-free, 4-under-par 34-34=68 in his opening round of the PGA Championship, finishing one stroke adrift of the clubhouse co-leaders.

The Aussie has logged eight top 25s on the PGA TOUR this season, but just one of those was a top 10. He's not in the upper tier of fantasy talent, but he's a solid complement to any roster. At Kiawah Island today, he circled four birdies, two each on par 4s and par 5s.

Geoff Ogilvy opened the World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational with a 3-under-par 36-31=67.

Sitting birdie-free 1-over through 10 holes, the Aussie then converted four birdies on his next seven holes to finish as the last of nine four strokes off the overnight lead. The highlight of the round was a chip-in for birdie from the rough 13 yards out at the par-3 fifth hole. He also poured in a birdie from just outside 17 feet at the eighth.

Geoff Ogilvy posted a final-round 3-under-par 33-34=67 to finish the week at even-par 280.

The Aussie was 1-over as he stood on the 12th tee, but played his final seven holes in bogey-free 4-under. He has finished inside the top 15 in this tournament just once, when he was fifth in 2005 at St. Andrews. He can now add Royal Lytham & St. Annes to the list of venues he finds to his liking.

Geoff Ogilvy will tee it up in the British Open at Royal Lytham and St. Annes.

For a world-class player, his history in this event is less than impressive. While he did finish fifth in 2005 at St. Andrews, that counts as one of his two made cuts in nine attempts. He's made 12 (of 14) cuts on the PGA TOUR this season with six top 25s, but has yet to nab a top 10.
