The new PGA Tour season tees off this week and in a change to the standard timings, the season begins this time around with the Fall Series and the Frys.com Championship from CordeValle Golf Club in California.

This is the fourth year in a row the San Martin course has played host to this event and my research has shown a focus on accurate drivers, solid putters and an ability to get up and down from the sand traps round the greens should lead us to the most likely types to succeed.

Best of luck to all for a profitable season.
