It’s not every weekend that there are star-studded fields across the globe and on multiple tours. It’s even more rare for these marquee events to all occur in the middle of November, but that’s just what happened last week.

With tournaments going on in Singapore, Australia, Orlando, Japan and Mexico, four continents were accounted for with pretty strong fields in each. Let’s break them down one by one, in order by what I paid the most attention to.

JBWere Australian Masters

It’s funny how the center of the golf universe is not a certain course or even a county; it’s a person. So, when Tiger Woods heads Down Under to play in the Aussie Masters, that’s where the center of the golf world is that week.

Unfortunately for Tiger, he was unable to post his first victory of the year in Melbourne, but that doesn’t mean the week was a total wash. Tiger shot a steady 2-under 69 to open the week and put himself in the conversation.

Could this be the week? was flying all over the internet and twittershpere. That question seemed to be answered pretty negatively on Friday and Saturday with rounds of 72-71, leaving him at -1, and well back of the leaders.

But, as only Tiger can, he rallied on the back nine, going 6-under on his last six holes, including two eagles to finish at 7-under for the tournament and a solo fourth finish (his first back-to-back top 10 finishes of the year.)

The middle rounds were marked by lackluster putting. Tiger said on multiple occasions that he just couldn’t get the speed down, something we’ve heard all year. On Sunday, Tiger left his trust Scotty Cameron in the trunk and used the Nike Method putter he had been experimenting with most famously at St. Andrews. Tiger had his best putting day of the week with only 27 knocks.

Tiger wasn’t the only person to go low on Sunday. Australian Stuart Appleby also had a tidy round of 65 to match Tiger Sunday. The only difference, Stu didn’t give the tournament away on Friday and Saturday. Opening with an even-par 71, Appleby went 69-69-65 to close out the weekend and take home that gold jacket like Chubbs never got. It also helped that fellow countryman Adam Bland blew his three shot lead on Sunday. Bland, who finished 75th on the Nationwide Tour, gets to take all his confidence from a good week back to the States for Q School.

Barclays Singapore Open

Poor Adam Scott. The guy gets a bad wrap.

Sure, he had a few lean years. There was talk about him giving up the game. Talk about how he didn’t have a passion for golf. Talk about how he just wanted to surf and live a completely different lifestyle.

All that sounds eerily familiar to what Sergio Garcia is going through right now.

But Adam Scott was able to win this weekend at the Barclays Singapore Open despite the difficult field that assembled.

Scott was able to win the event for the third time in his career, while holding off the likes of Graeme McDowell, Ian Poulter, Miguel Angel Jimenez, Martin Kaymer, Phil Mickelson and Francesco Molinari.

Scott was able to fight through multiple weather delays and a Monday finish on his way to a three-stroke victory and his second of the season.

Disney Children’s Miracle Network Classic

Maybe the tournaments with the most storylines going on this weekend, the Disney was the last chance for PGA Tour players to gain their fully exempt status for the 2011 season. Also, there was the thrilling finale to the year-long Kodak Challenge.

As for the tournament, Robert Garrigus came out on top, winning by three strokes over Roland Thatcher who “vomited away the tournament,” but was still able to muster a Tour card for 2011.

Garrigus, who we last saw choking away a victory to eventual No. 1-in-waiting Lee Westwood in Memphis, said that he saw the Memphis loss as a stepping stone and he was happy to silence some of his critics with the win Sunday.

Even though Garrigus’ win was overshadowed by other people playing for a job, as well as the million dollar tournament within the tournament, he still is a deserving champion and the win earns him a spot at Kapalua in January.
