You may still be bleary-eyed from that New Year's Eve party -- and we know you haven't written your Christmas thank-you notes yet, so don't even try to blow that by us -- but the 2011 golf season officially gets underway this week as the Hyundai Tournament of Champions begins at the lovely Plantation Course at Kapalua. Yes, yes, for most casual fans golf doesn't truly begin until Masters Sunday, but for us diehards, we're rolling right now, baby!
As befits its name -- the second half, at least -- the HTOC invites all the tournament champions from the previous year to do battle. That means well-known faces like Anthony Kim, Bubba Watson, Camilo Villegas, Jim Furyk and Ernie Els are in attendance, along with "wait, he won last year?" guys like Jason Bohn, Bill Haas and Derek Lamely. Not in attendance: Phil Mickelson, who won in Augusta last year. Also not in attendance: Tiger Woods, who ... er, never mind.
Anyway, this will be a good chance for you to get back in the swing of golf -- ugh, sorry, awful pun -- by watching some of the best in the game. And at long last, we can stop trying desperately to manufacture stories out of nothing at all. We've got real golf to talk about, baby!
The tournament begins on Thursday. Join us for another fine year of golf, won't you?
