Some preliminary information on the first event of the season for the PGA Tour. I doubt I will get lines until perhaps later Monday or Tuesday. So I will post any plays I make after that time.
I won't be getting into detailed background info during the season, unless it pertains to a specific matchup writeup. But I have some free time now and I have the itch.

Some preliminary information on the first event of the season for the PGA Tour. I doubt I will get lines until perhaps later Monday or Tuesday. So I will post any plays I make after that time.
I won't be getting into detailed background info during the season, unless it pertains to a specific matchup writeup. But I have some free time now and I have the itch.
Here is a list of qualifiers who won tournaments
on the PGA Tour in 2010, that are listed as entrants for this event.
They are listed is no particular order.
Appleby, Stuart Haas, Bill Ogilvy, Geoff *Atwal, Arjun Hoffman, Charley Palmer, Ryan *Beckman, Cameron Johnson, Dustin Pettersson, Carl *Bettencourt, Matt Johnson, Zach Poulter, Ian *Bohn, Jason Kim, Anthony Rose, Justin *Byrd, Jonathan Kuchar, Matt Scott, Adam Clark, Tim *Lamely, Derek *Slocum, Heath Crane, Ben *Lunde, Bill Stricker, Steve Day, Jason Mahan, Hunter Villegas, Camilo Els, Ernie McDowell, Graeme Watson, Bubba Furyk, Jim *Mediate, Rocco *Garrigus, Robert Molinari, Francesco
I've
gone through and put an asterisk next to names of players of players I
feel have no real shot at winning this. Many qualified from weaker
tournaments possibly held later in the season or that were held during
weekends that also hosted World Golf Events, etc. that they normally
qualify for.
Sure they get an invite, but I don't like many of
their chances. Also look for players who might be bringing their
families to make this a vacation event. Hard to keep your focus on the
course during the day if Little Billy or Mary is keeping you up at night
teething. I have no information if anyone is in this situation yet. But
you can usually pick it up from the coverage and make use of it in a
daily matchup later in the weekend.

What
is significant to note is Geoff Ogilvy has won the past two years. A
few years before that, Stuart Appleby won it three years in a row.
1.) Aussies always play well in the wind.
2.)
This event is also held just around the most important part of the
Aussie PGA Tour season during their "summer" Down Under. So these
players would be closest to having their games in great shape.
Note
other winners in the last nine years all have International roots and
do play the Asian & Aussies Tours late in the calendar year.
I believe this is not a coincidence.

Here is a link to past winners of the season opening tournament at the Plantation Course.

The Plantation
Course is unique among PGA Tour courses in several ways. It is the only
course on the tour that plays to par 73; all others play to pars between
70 and 72. It is also the only course with seven holes of more than 500
yards, but at the same time is one of only two courses (Pebble Beach
being the other) with six par-4s of less than 400 yards.
The
elevation changes on the course are starkly illustrated by looking at
the 17th, 18th, and 1st holes as a set. The 17th starts atop a mountain,
and the course slopes downward through the 18th, with the 1st
completing the descent. These three holes play to a combined 1,691 yards
for the tour professionals, with only the 18th (at 663 yards) being
par-5.
Most courses in Hawaii have the deal with the late
afternoon Trade winds. This track will be no exception. But as this is a
small field, it shouldn't be a huge issue as it would be next week when
you have a full field at the Sony Open.
With only 34 players,
or less, you get 17 twosomes with 10 minute start intervals. From first
off to the last starter is less that 3 hours. It should be fair for all
involved with the alternating of tee times the first two days.
I also expect due to the small field, there will be no 36 hole Cut. So everybody plays all four rounds.

This is a great website that breaks down this event by player with respect to Number of Events Played here; Number of Top 10 finishes; and Average Finish. (Definitely worth bookmarking for further events this year.)

Interesting matchup we should see for Thursday is Graeme McDowell vs.
Hunter Mahan - the rematch from the Final Singles Pairing from the Ryder
Cup.
"With a select field of 34, the organisers of this
week's $5.6 million Hyundai Tournament of Champions in Hawaii thought it
appropriate to base the first-round draw on strict criteria like world
ranking and FedEx Cup points. Yet they still came up with Graeme
McDowell and Hunter Mahan as the sixth-last pairing.
It should be
an interesting reunion for the duo who carried the destination of the
Ryder Cup in their hands at Celtic Manor last October. That, of course,
was when the American suffered the considerable indignity of duffing a
chip shot at the short 17th after McDowell had taken control of the
match with a glorious birdie on the previous hole.
With new
sponsors this week, the event carries the prestigious tournament of
champions title for the first time since 1993. And the organisers were
mightily relieved that McDowell decided to make the long trip to the
Plantation Course at Kapalua so early in the new year/"
I get
the impression they will redraw pairings for each round afterwards
based on the previous day's finish. It might also be that this is a
matchup that is offered as a Tournament Matchup also.
This is
McDowell's first time in this event. Mahan played it in 2008 in his only
appearance and finished -14 - T5th. While I do like McDowell a lot. I
have concerns about his first tournament of the season after a long
schedule last Fall and entire year. I also heard him say he was looking
forward to some Pub Time when he did finally take some time off last
month.
I would have to think McDowell will be a big favourite in
the Books, and Mahan wouldn't mind some payback. Will McDowell be rusty
enough for Mahan to catch is the question?

I wish the list of players not competing in the season-opener didn't overshadow those who are.
But the truth is, it doesn't.
There
are 39 players eligible for this week's event and 34 have elected to
play. That's a robust 87 percent commitment rate, which would have
tournament officials for any non-major doing backflips in their sleep.
At
Kapalua, though, the big story going into the week isn't about
quantity, but quality. That's because the quintet skipping the
festivities includes Phil Mickelson, Louis Oosthuizen, Martin Kaymer,
Lee Westwood and Rory McIlroy. If you're scoring at home, that would be
three of last year's four major champions, the world's No. 1 player and
the game's brightest young star.
In order to further show exactly
what kind of star power will be missing, I decided to do a little
number-crunching. Those five players have an average Official World Golf
Ranking of 7.6, with three ranked in the top four. The 34 who are
competing this week have an average ranking of 74.9, with no one higher
than fifth.
(Break down this week's competitors even more and
you'll find an eclectic list of winners from last season. Jim Furyk
heads the list at No. 5, followed by 11 others in the top 25 and seven
more in the top 50. But 10 of these players are still outside the top
100 and four rank higher than 200th, with Rocco Mediate (225), Cameron
Beckman (253), Bill Lunde (258) and Matt Bettencourt (260) hardly
parlaying victory into OWGR success.)
That's not to say this
week's tourney will lack for elite players (Furyk, Graeme McDowell,
Steve Stricker, Ian Poulter and Ernie Els are among the headliners), nor
will it be impacted by worse television ratings (fans will tune in for a
chance to see "real" golf once again and the majestic Hawaiian vistas)
or decreased ticket sales (it's never a highly attended event anyway).
Mickelson hasn't played there since 2001, a few European Tour regulars
annually eschew the event and Tiger Woods -- ineligible this season
because he didn't win last year -- removed it from his schedule long
ago.
The real irony of ironies here is that the event has been
renamed "Hyundai Tournament of Champions," but some of the greatest
champions have elected to sit this one out. As independent contractors,
more power to 'em for being able to pass up paradise and a guaranteed
paycheck. It still casts a pall over the tourney, though. Consider it a
black cloud passing through the numerous rainbows that will magically
appear over the course this week.

THe only ones I disagree with having no shot are JBYRD and Slocum.
Another I may fade early in the year is Hunter Mahan. His first winter married and from what I hear he is not playing to great. I live about 10 minutes from him, I get my club work by the same guy, and we play with a lot of the same people. Take it for what is worth.

Tournament of Champions - Tourney Matchups: Steve Stricker (-105) over Ian Poulter -- To Win 1 unit
I
like Stricker in this spot against Poulter who is playing this
tournament for the first time. Both last played in the Shark Shootout
early in December, so not a long layoff for either. But I know Steve has
been beating balls as he always does at his father-in-law's driving
range up in Wisconsin as he does every offseason.
Stricker has
done well here in his last two starts - T10th last year and 2nd in 2008.
Always solid off the tee and very good on and around the greens makes
this play on Stricker much easier for me in a field that is not as
strong as it has been in past years. At essentially a Pick 'em price vs.
Poulter, I cannot pass on the value.
Tournament of Champions - Tourney Matchups: Ernie Els (+110) over Geoff Ogilvy -- Risking 1 unit
I
see this as a value play. Sure Ogilvy has won the past two tournaments
here to start the season. Sure Ogilvy has played well in Australia in
the two Majors he entered on the Aussie PGA Tour in December. He won the
Aussie Open and had a T2nd in their Aussie PGA Championship. So that
tells me his game is in good form.
But Ernie also won this last
month at the South African Open against a strong field. Plus he has 6
Top 10's in his 8 appearances in Maui. That does not surprise me as he
can still bomb it and the fairways are generous. Both players have
strong wind games in my opinion.
Given the choice of laying the
juice or taking a strong value play in a close matchup, I will always
side with taking the juice in my favour. I like my chances with Ernie
finishing higher as I think it will be difficult for Ogilvy to win his
third title in a row.

Tournament of Champions - Thursday Matchup: Hunter Mahan (+111) over Graeme McDowell - 1st Round -- To Win 1 unit
Another
value play I see for the 1st Round. This will be a much anticipated
rematch of the final Singles Match from the Ryder Cup. Normally I would
strongly consider McDowell. But his move to Srixon in the last few days
means he will be playing new Srixon irons and new Cleveland wedges.
I
almost never see a golf, regardless of skill level, make this
adjustment immediately. Although McDowell is a very strong wind player,
you cannot get your distances dialled in this quickly with new irons and
wedges. The constant Trade winds he will have to deal with will not
make it any easier.
McDowell had a very long season last year
and I remember him saying he was really looking forward to some "Pub
Time". Can't say I blame him, but he showed rust after taking about
three weeks off after winning the US Open at Pebble last summer. I am
expecting the same situation here.
As this is a one day matchup, I
feel I have better than a 50-50 chance with Mahan who will be looking
for a little payback for the Ryder Cup. Plus McDowell's layoff and new
sticks makes me like the value in +111 on Hunter, who made 19 of 25 Cuts
last season. Mahan also had a T5th in 2008 in his only appearance.
Graeme is playing this tournament for the first time.

I'll toss this in here although it is for the Euro Tour event in South Africa.
African Open Play
African Open - Tourney Matchups: Retief Goosen (-105) over Charl Schwartzel -- To Win 1 unit
Although
essentially a Pick 'em line, I see Goosen as the Dog here. Schwartzel
had a solid season on both Tours last year. He is passing on the
Tournament of Champions event in Maui to play this event. So he feels
the allegiance of playing in his own country to kick off 2011. Charl has
played well in the two opening events on the Euro Tour in December in
South Africa. He had a T2nd at the Alfred Dunhill Championship and 4th
in the South African Open - an event in which Goosen finished 2nd one
shot behind Ernie Els.
Although Schwartzel kicked off a great
season by winning this tournament last year, Goosen is very motivated to
play well in this event this year from his pre-tournament interviews. I
think Retief and Ernie see the "Younger Guns" from South Africa like
Schwartzel and Oosthuizen trying to trying to take over their spots as
the top South African golfers in the world. I know Retief and Ernie have
lots of game left in both their golf bags and want to make a statement
they are not ready to roll over.
One more thing that puts my on
the Goose is he has silently become Mr. Top Ten. In his 19 events on the
PGA Tour last season, he made 18 Cuts and had 10 Top 10 finishes. Those
are simply amazing numbers and too good for me to pass up in this
matchup.

I think he can play well. I'm not sure if he can win - I almost never play To Win bets myself.
But Clark is a great wind player. I'm just not that fussy with his long putter. He did show however that can can win a big event like he did last year at the The Players Championship. You don't just luck into a win like that in a tournament of that magnitude.

Appreciate the info on Hunter Mahan. I did not know that.
You are correct about Slocum. He is a "Cut Machine" making 23 of 25 last year. But he only had 5 Top 10's all season with getting to the weekend that many times.
Hopefully his one win last year will give him more confidence this season to finish stronger when he has that opportunity.

Dont take this the wrong way but I do not like any of those plays but that probably means they are winners.
Stricker practicing in Wisconsin. How much real practice is that this time of year. Poulter is on a mission to be #1 and he knows this is a great spot to begin his climb. He is cocky enough to believe he can win every event. Plus playing really good towards end of the year.
You know why I dont like the Mahan play.
The Els over Ogilvy has good value I agree just don like the spot for the BIg Easy

I managed to get a Fade Ogilvy bet in before Pinnacle took all plays off the board on Ogilvy. Unfortunately I have a number of hockey and football bets out currently. But I did empty the account on that play.
Worst case scenario is he withdraws before teeing off which means the bet will be refunded at end of play on Thursday evening. Best case is he hits his opening tee shot and withdraws making the bet a winner.
"The Golf Channel’s Kelly Tilghman tweeted that Ogilvy may hit his first
tee shot on Thursday, then withdraw. That would give him last-place
money in the no-cut event."
Here is what I read on the injury:
"The cut on his finger runs across one of the joints, which means it
could affect the amount of pressure he’ll be able to apply on his club."
No way you will have any game with 12 stitches in that part of the finger.

tee shot on Thursday, then withdraw. That would give him last-place
money in the no-cut event."
Here is what I read on the injury:
"The cut on his finger runs across one of the joints, which means it
could affect the amount of pressure he’ll be able to apply on his club."
No way you will have any game with 12 stitches in that part of the finger.
