PGA TOUR - 2011

The PGA TOUR starts its 2011 season tomorrow on the island of Maui for the Hyundai Tournament of Champions.  The field is comprised of tournament winners from the 2010 season.  Although the field will be missing a number of Top 10 players on the World Rankings list it's always good to watch golf on Maui when most of the world is freezing.  The other nice feature of this tournament is that it's prime time television due to the time difference. 
There's certainly many questions to ask of the Tour as the seasons starts.  The biggest is what game and state of mind does Tiger bring to the Tour?  We'll find out probably the end of January at Torrey Pines.  Lots of young players stepped forward last year.  Will Rickie Fowler, Dustin Johnson, Hunter Mahan, etc.. continue their rise?  Will the European young guns like Justin Rose and Rory McIlroy become Major winners.  Will major winners Martin Kaymer, Graeme McDowell and Luis Oosthuizen emerge to challenge for all four majors? 
Lots of talent and questions are present for the start of the year.  Should be very interesting how the young battle against the experienced.  Ultimately the Tour and TV will need Tiger to regain his winning ways to satsify the financial side of things. 
I'll have my seat in front of the tube tomorrow night to check it all out.  Looking forward to it.
