PGA Tour: American Express Tee Times
The PGA Tour is back at La Quinta in the California desert for the annual American Express, you old timers will remember it as " The Hope" when Bob Hope hosted it for so many years, bringing his Hollywood pals and American Presidents with him, it was always the first look at golf for the year on TV, lots of laughs, celebrities, pretty girls and some great golf from the best players, for example, Arnie won it 5 times.
It's different now, the pro-am is all corporate schmoozing, the field is decent, this year Scheffler who has been on holiday for 3 months has decided to play which will please the sponsor.
There are 6 Canadians. Mac Hughes begins his season after playing a few Fall season events to try and get in the top 60, he is at #73.
Sudarshan Yellamaraju was a creditable T13 last week in his Tour debut, Taylor Pendrith had a strong weekend T6, Nick Taylor T13 in defense of his title at the Sony, Adam Svensson , and AJ Ewart who has all weekend to practice after MC last week round out the contingent.
By the way Adam Hadwin who usually had a strong week here including his 59, begins his season on the Korn Ferry Tour in Bogota, Columbia, as he begins his season trying to regain his PGA Tour card.
