The calendar has turned and the PGA Tour is back. The wraparound 2020-21 season begins, as usual, in Hawaii at Kapalua’s Plantation Course. What is usually a winners-only event was expanded this year to include players who qualified for last fall’s Tour Championship. A field of 42 men is the largest in tournament history.
What’s not surprising this week is the strength of the field. World No. 1 Dustin Johnson will start his year at Kapalua and so will eight of the other top 10 players in the Golfweek/Sagarin Rankings. Only No. 4 Rory McIlroy is missing.
In the 12 tournaments played so far in the 2020-21 Tour season, the average ranking of the winner heading into the week in which he won a PGA Tour event has been 148 in the Golfweek/Sagarins and 169.75 in the OWGR.
