2009 WGC-Bridgestone Invitational

The 2009 WGC-Bridgestone Invitational was a professional golf tournament held August 6–9 over the South Course at Firestone Country Club in Akron, Ohio. It was the eleventh WGC-Bridgestone Invitational tournament, and the third of four World Golf Championships events held in 2009.

World number 1 Tiger Woods won his 16th World Golf Championships title, which was his seventh Invitational title. This was his fourth Invitational title in as many starts, as he won three consecutive (2005, 2006, 2007) and missed the 2008 edition due to recuperation after leg surgery. He shot 268 (−12), four strokes ahead of runners-up Robert Allenby and Pádraig Harrington. This was Woods' 10th Invitational appearance and had yet to finish out of the top five; he was second in 2004 and fourth twice (2002, 2003).
