SBS Tournament of Champions
Seoul Broadcasting System (a national South Korean television and radio network) is the title sponsor at the deceiving 7,450 yard, par 73 Coore/Crenshaw designed Plantation Course at Kapalua on Maui...

The breathtaking views may distract some of the line-up with 32 Tour winners of 38 that qualify from the 2016 calendar year including six of the T10 from the OWG Ranking with no shows from Rors Deutsche Bank Champ & TOUR Champ, Scott Honda Classic & WGC-Cadillac Champ, Henrik The OPEN Champ, Willett Masters Champ, Schwartzel Valspar Champ and Sergio AT&T Byron Nelson winner.
PGA TOUR Player of the Year Dustin Johnson 6/1, Defending champion Jordan Spieth 11/2, the red-hot Hideki ‘Hero’ Matsuyama 5/1 fav & 2015 winner Paddy Reed 14/1 are a-top of the betting, with other Ryder Cup stars Brandt Snedeker 18/1, Jimmy Walker & Ryan Moore are among the 21 yanks. There are no European RC stars at Kapalua but shoulda coulda woulda Travelers Champ Russell Knox holds the Euro-fort on his second appearance on these shores (only 27th last year)...... Poor Paddy the only one going 5 places.
OWGR #1 Just-in DAY 9/1 last seen in September is one of four Aussies with Pampling last seen here in 2007 while it’s Baddeley’s third visit since ‘07, ’08 & 2012 and it’s Greg Chalmers’ debut.
Ten other players also make their debuts (no first-time winner since Chopra ’08), while eight players are making only their second visit (incl. Matsuyama 3rd in 2015, with Thomas 21st & Knox 27th last year). Four players haven’t been back since at least 2012, incl Badds, while the longest absentee is Vaughn Taylor, making his third visit since a 4th place in ‘06 (also 8th in ’05).
Three previous winners in the field this week: 2016 Spieth USA (262, -30); 2015 Reed USA (271, -21); 2014 Zach Johnson USA (-19); 2013 Dustbin Johnson USA (69,66,68 for 203, -16 over 54 holes – a little windy); 2012 Stricker USA (269, -23); 2011 Jonathan Byrd USA (-24); 2010 & 2009 Geoff Ogilvy; 2003 Ernie Els (261, -31, the 72 hole event TOUR record).
‘Key to Kapalua’ is wedge it close and convert on the par 4s. Eight of the par 4s measure 420 yards or less so see Berger putt for eagle yet it’s no bombers paradise. Need an opening 69, -4 or better in Rd.1. to win and the good news is everyone makes the cut!
Find a pub for a few late wans, as TV coverage begins at 23.00pm on Thursday night (well after the first tee off time at 20.20pm).
All the history stats...
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15HxQI6nGjZoiBwSWSpl67uVRgnfl9iMzoWYhKgV1o1E/pubhtml
The usual trade-winds are forecast throughout but will freshen on the weekend, with temps up to 80 degrees every day......might as well stay in Hawaii for the Sony Open next week!!!
Anyone else played this track ?
SO THEN...
Jordan Spieth-less.....23yo will defend to match Tiger with a second Hawaiian Lei.
Hideki Matsuyama.....T3 in 2015 (272, -20) was not beginners luck. Easy Hero Champ.
Brandt Snedeker.....3, 11, 3 in last 4 years does it for moi. Let it blow !
Paddy Reed.....2, 1, 16 in last 3 years means he likes it a lot better here.
Dustbin Johnson.....10, 6, Won 2013, 9, 16, 11 his record here in last 8 years.
Danny Berger.....Tops the 11 debutants as a Bermuda grass specialist and LONG.
OTHERS...
Justin Thomas.....21st last year on his debut and defended well in K.L.
Jimmy Walker.....Major Champ reads 10, 2nd, 21 last three years so just hope 2017 isn’t a downer.
Bubba Watson.....OWGR #10 was 4th in 2013, his best of 5 attempts.
Fabian Gomez 6th last year and Fed Ex St Jude Champ in 2015 with 267 by 4 shots for first win in his 70th career start.
My man lefty GRIBBLE (first man off the tee) a lively outsider.
Maybe some DAY the World #1 will come back here again and win, just not this year.

Daniel Berger is "pumped to join the Callaway Golf team! New Epic driver is ridiculous. Ready to kick things off with the new gear this week in Maui!"
Branden Grace "The new GBB EPIC sub zero, straight in the bag for Hawaii, easiest change ever!!"
Monty and Willett will also put to the test shortly.

All over Jimmy Walker. Long driver, top class scrambler and sound putter when on form. Main weakness last year was accuracy offthe tee, apart from Baltrusol when he won the PGA. If hes rejuvenated then 28/1 is big.
Spieth looks a worthy fav to me here and despite his recent form, struggling to see why Hideki is the same price when there is such a premium on putting.
Saver on Snedeker who has good course form and obviously putts well as anyone.

day seems a bit big in such a limited field, a bombers paradise as well, 9-1 in places worth taking despite the worries about coming back off an injury. I know matsuyama been in great form lately but does he really deserve to be four points shorter than the world number one?
i had sneaker on my short list but was a bit underwhelmed by the price.
I really think Spieth will be very hard to beat win bet @ 11/2 for me also on Ryan Moore E/W @ 28/1 but he has drifted to 33/1 now.
‘Key to Kapalua’ is wedge it close and convert on the par 4s. Eight of the par 4s measure 420 yards or less so see Berger putt for eagle yet it’s no bombers paradise. Need an opening 69, -4 or better in Rd.1. to win and the good news is everyone makes the cut!

I went for a bet at Sportsbook earlier. €100 @ 5/1, was going to lay off on Betfair but then thought why the rush. Leave it there as back up for the weekend. Speith at full throttle will win by 2 or 3 shots. Hopefully the break will have his attitude to putting back on a level platform.
Noticing the prizefund of 6.4 mill $ to be played for over 4 days in this beautiful spot, why would any parent not want their young ones to try their hand at this golf lark.

Looking at the earlier match betting, firms must make a packet on the dead heats if the turnover can be achieved. Marketing by Betfair has been poor and indeed they upseta lot of loyal customers last weekend by sending emails awarding the Cash Race monies and subsequently renaging on their email. Still waiting for a GESTURE of good will from them.
Lump on Yorkhill at Naas on Saturday at Naas if he shows up for the prizemoney.
not seeing much of hideki given his stella form at the end of 2016
And a VERY HNY to you toberaheena.
CODY in with a 69...will just do, BUT he left a few more out there I believe...should have got that putt on 18 for bird ffs.

wowiezowiee 2115 (-1150).....two chances of glory - 125/1 Taylor & 175/1 Herman - Slim and....
BERGER's already in POLE POSITION with his new Great Big Bertha (GBB) EPIC driver.
Very slow starts from HURLEY 74, HUGHES 73 , STEELE 72 & TAYLOR 72 - not good enough....while REED, DAY & BUBBA are not on fire @ one under thru 12 holes.
Jim HENMAN F @-6 (67) with only one birdie on the four par 5's (Spieth was -16 on the par 5's last year).
Which golfers have won on the PGA Tour for the most years in a row? Here are the golfers who won at least once in the most consecutive years:
17 Years in a Row.....• Jack Nicklaus, 1962-78 • Arnold Palmer, 1955-71
16 Years in a Row.....• Billy Casper, 1956-71
In Nicklaus' 17-year streak, he won at least twice in each of those seasons. His first win was the 1962 U.S. Open, and the final win in his 17-year run was the 1978 IVB-Philadelphia Golf Classic. Nicklaus won 68 times during the stretch, including 15 majors.
In Palmer's 17-year stretch, he had three years with only one victory: 1955, 1965 and 1970. The first win in this period for Palmer was the 1955 Canadian Open and the last the 1971 National Team Championship. Coincidentally, Palmer's partner in that 2-man team event was Nicklaus. Palmer won 61 times during his streak, including seven majors.
Tiger Woods' streak of 14 years (1996-2009) ended when he went winless in PGA Tour events in 2010.
DUSTBIN JOHNSON is currently a winner for the last 9 seasons with REED next on 4 years.

Could anyone tell me how many 1st round leaders went on to win the tournament on the pga and European tours in the last 5 years? thanks in anticipation!
Have had to swallow my pride and take my losses on Speith and cash out to save a few quid and throw it on Reed @ 6.2 to dig me out of my first (of many no doubt) 2017. Reed will be tucked in bed to win this while the rest party.
disappointing 70 for walker in round 2, had a chance with a 66to take control , even a67 would have been more than acceptable

You can find the answer to questions like that here http://www.tour-tips.com/ It's free for the first 4 weeks of the season.
Go to in/out of contention, put 1 in position, and 1 in round, gives you position of all 1st round leaders for as many years you choose, 557 1st round leaders in your 5 year period.

If all the birdies in Hawaii don't interest you, check out the scoring on the web.com, seems to be a tad breezy in the Bahamas. Kinda rather they switch to that for some fun TBH.

Most birdies since the start of the 2014-15 PGA TOUR season: Justin Thomas 881, Danny Lee 856, Tony Finau 845.
Justin Thomas was succinct when answering how he turned around his Kapalua fortunes after a poor showing at last year’s SBS Tournament of Champions.
“I just prepared, actually, this year,” he said with a laugh. Thomas finished the 2016 tournament in a tie for 21st some 19 shots behind friend/winner Jordan Spieth and now leads by two at 18-under on Sunday as he looks to claim a third PGA TOUR win. “I obviously practiced and prepared last year, but I just didn't as much as I should have,” he continued. “I didn't take it like a normal event. I mean, this is a great, great opportunity to win a golf tournament. This is your best chance, you would say. Obviously, the winners, they are all great players, but I'll take my chances over 32 versus 144 every single week.”
Having also missed the cut in the 2016 Sony Open and 2016 Career Builder Challenge, Thomas was mindful of being ready in 2017. “I feel like I'm to the point where I should be contending most of the weeks I play." - Justin Thomas on his 2017 attitude.
He still had fun in his off-season but made sure he got back to work well in advance of his trek to Maui, refusing to treat the trip as any sort of vacation. “These last couple weeks, I really tried to kind of hone it in and get ready for the start of this year,” he said. “The main thing I focused in the off-season was my driving. I think if I can drive it a lot straighter or even just a little straighter, there's no reason I shouldn't be in contention, or be at least around the hunt going into the weekend, or come Sunday.

This is so slow to watch. Non stop ad-breaks, be it Sky's or the yanks.
Thought Walker was good for a place after Thursday. For a chunk on him last week. Slipping away from the top four...

I need a small miracle and Thomas to get a dose of the heebie jeebies. Anybody else will do.
Feeling a tad robbed when I look at Jordan's performance today. Obviously now the bookies will slash his price for the Sony and he will not be a great price. 5/1 Maybe.
REMEMBER:
A brilliant Justin Thomas successfully defended his CIMB Classic title in KUALA LUMPUR (KL), Malaysia firing a final round eight-under-par 64 to overturn a four-shot deficit at the start of the day while Japan's Hideki Matsuyama birdied the last two holes to sign for a 66 and claim second place on 20-under.
The 23-year-old has come of age

World #6 Justin Rose will wait a bit longer to get back in action for 2018, skipping this week's Sentry Tournament of Champions - qualified with a win at the WGC-HSBC Champions but he's decided to sit this week out - he teed it up here in 2011 but hasn't returned since, despite qualifying five (now six) more times.

What has Scott Piercy done to qualify for this tournament?
World number 1 being disrespected a bit being 4th in betting no? Was injured here last year so put a line through that, was 3rd on his solo trip to Kapalua. I'll take the 14s.
Agree this place should suit Keopka ,will it be a jolly for some though?Champ my main bet,let's see how step up a level fits...
Never too sure with this event how fine tuned the guys are. The event has a wider spectrum of styles in the winner.
One to wait and see how they start for me.

I agree with you mainly Mighty - but my first bet of the new year has been a lay of Champ at 18s
Just 33 Players - No NA (finger injury & signs with Callaway) - in the SENTRY TOURNAMENT of CHAMPIONS - as Dustbin defends successfully
RORS makes long-awaited debut, while Phil, Tiger & Justin (Honma) Rose all skip Kapalua.
Thomas 10's, Leishman 16's and a WISE 25's choice tyvm
btw...
Rory Sabbatini has become a citizen of Slovakia (his wife is a Slovak) to play in the 2020 Olympics.
...AND DA'RE OFF in 2019

really not a fan of that new rule where u can putt with the pin in
That's going to take some getting used to. Less time to look for ball and drop from knee height all good though.
Only Bryson seemed to engage in putting with the pin in. Think it is a decent rule especially from the amateur game point of view. Should speed up play a little.
Don't get the knee high drop at all what is the benefit?
Don't get the knee high drop at all what is the benefit?
The knee high drop is to speed up play as the ball is less likely to roll outside the limit of the drop. and if the rule makers think that is going to work they are mad, the only reason the ball rolls outside the allowed area is because the players want it too so they get to place the ball, this makes it even easier to drop on the limit and flout the rules.
Or Mickelsons interpretation of the rule he has worked out that by taking the drop whilst kneeling he gets to place the ball anyway!

DJ having a bit of a melt, and Champ going in the wrong direction for me
THE PREVIOUS EIGHT WINNERS were at or within 2 of the lead after Rd.2.
Woodland is the 10th player to lead by 3 or more shots after the 2nd round - SEVEN of the previous NINE (incl the last 4) went on to WIN.
TRUST GARY not to wobble ?
Cue jonnybullchite - absolute fat little bottle job - hacker's convention - bottling leaders - there for the taking - bigger chokers in behind.

Woodland seems a different player nowadays - someone I would look to take on before now I'd rather have him onside - I need Tway to disappear right now.
Impressive stuff from Woodland right now. I hope he has a good Sunday.
Woodland is playing back 9 really well. He wins I think as Rory's putting has not yet been proven to be back consistently yet ? As an Irishman I want to see him do well as he is the best golfer in the world tee to green. The slower the greens, the better he scores. This seems to be a constant for most golfers from Britain and Ireland.
I should add that we need to watch out for a springer from farther down the leaderboard but stats favour the leader in past versions of this nice tournament. Would not mind to have a holiday home near this course. Dream on Tobe.

Juicy stat - Most wins on the PGA Tour since 2010 coming from behind....Rory 7, also Gary, Watson & Dustin on 7, Zack J 6.
Gary is 0 for 6 leading after 54 holes... Bird for Rory at the par-4 third to pull within two of Woodland. McIlroy leads the field in par-4 scoring average for the week (3.80).
What a player Xander is. Incredible how little attention he gets.
Had all my eggs gone into Woodward basket. Beaten by a miracle round of golf.
Woodland led by 3, shot -5 & lost...
Schauffele shoots an 11-under final round to tie the tournament course record...incredible 2 eagle 62, after an opening hole bogey.
The lowest final round score to par by the winner on the PGA Tour in 8.5 years, since Stuart Appleby's closing 59 at Greenbrier in 2010.
(The previous lowest final round shot by a winner at The Plantation Course was 64 by Sergio in 2002).

New Year but same old Rory ! Get bang in contention and then engage reverse 
RORS has 6 wins on the PGA Tour when trailing by multiple strokes entering the final round. That is the most of any player since the beginning of the 2010 season.
BUT since the beginning of 2016, 6 times Wee McIlroy has been either 1st or 2nd entering the final round and is winless in those events with a final round scoring average of 72.5 (combined final round score to par of +8).
OUR WEE RORS will surely join Tiger and Jack as the only players since World War II, with 15+ PGA Tour wins including 4 Majors, before the age of 30 (30th Birthday is 4th May). (Not to mention his 13 European Wins).

Playing out of the final twosome, 2017 Champ and OWGR #4 Justin Thomas, pre-tourney 5/1 fav, styled a 4-under-par 34-35=69 in the final round of the Sentry ToC to match Patrick Reed and overnight leader, defending champ and playing competitor Xander Schauffele on 14-under 278.....and then won with birdie on the third playing of the par-5 18th in sudden-death.
The 26-y-o bagged his 12th TOUR title in 141 events (137 pro) and improves to 3-1 in playoffs. It's his second win of the season in four starts, joining THE CJ CUP two starts ago (as 54-hole co-leader), and becomes the season's second multiple-winner (Brendon Todd). After opening with 67-73-69, he began solo 2nd, one back. He needed a par on the 72nd hole to win in regulation but bogeyed, and then outlasted Schauffele, eliminated on 1st playoff hole, and dispatched past champion Reed with birdie from 3'5" after an approach from 117 yards away. Overall, it's his eighth win in no-cut events, fourth straight, and fourth come-from-behind victory.
