PGA Grand Slam of Golf This Week
Let the silly season begin in earnest as this week brings the PGA Grand Slam of Golf where the the winners of the four majors meet in Hawaii for sun, surf, and the chance to earn some Christmas money before the holidays. This year’s tournament has an odd twist for a couple of different reasons.
First, Tiger Woods won the PGA Championship and the Open Championship so Jim Furyk was asked to represent the PGA. Secondly, Phil Mickelson opted out, presumably because he’s still not over the meltdown at the U.S. Open, while Mike Weir was asked to replace him. Woods owns this event as he’s won 6 of the last 7 outings and though he’s lost the last couple of tournaments in Asia, he’ll still be the man to beat.
