We put together a blueprint for a 22-event global circuit, one that would serve as an elevated series of sorts to the sport’s professional circuits in the same vein as the former World Golf Championship events.
This is supposed to be the greatest show on grass, a giant outdoor party in beautiful weather! Instead, for a second consecutive week the PGA Tour is getting crushed by the elements.
After solid performances at the Hero World Challenge and the PNC Championship in December, it seemed a foregone conclusion Woods would return at Riviera for the Genesis, an event he hosts. But he did not make the official announcement until overnight on his social media accounts.
