Not only are the top three ranked golfers in the world all playing in the Dubai Classic this week in the United Emirates, but they are all teeing it up together for the first two rounds.

Lee Westwood, Tiger Woods and Martin Kaymer are grouped together at the Emirates Golf Club on Thursday and Friday. Kaymer has never played in a grouping with Woods before.

Woods has won at the Emirates Golf Club twice before, in 2006 and 2008. He didn't play in the 2010 event.

Martin Kaymer recently passed Woods in the World Golf Rankings. Westwood is one, Kaymer two and Woods three.

"We'll see how long it takes him to overtake me again," Kaymer said, perhaps expecting it may happen in Dubai."

"Of course I've met him," Kaymer said. "But I've never played with him. It will be nice."

Phil Mickelson, tied for fourth on the list with Graeme McDowell, is playing on the PGA Tour this weekend at the AT&T Pro Am.

During his practice round on Wednesday, Tiger spent a lot of time working on his putting and chipping. These seem to be the two things hurting him the most as he continues to work on overhauling his swing with coach Sean Foley.

This often happens to golfers when they spend so much time on the swing; the short game gets neglected.
