Formerly the Mercedes-Benz Championship, the SBS Championship kicks of the 2010 PGA Tour Season. This year's winners only tournament kicks off this Thursday, January 7 at The Plantation Course at Kapalua in Maui, Hawaii. I look for Steve Stricker's strong play to carry over into 2010. Geoff Ogilvy is the defending champion and has a strong track record at this event. The rest of my picks are basically blind guesses and hunches. It's the first event of the year following a very abbreviated off season. Many of these guys are going to be knocking off rust this week.
Something to take note of this week will be the effect that the new groove rules will have on the players shot selections. I think that the effects will be minimal, but I'm sure the players will field numerous questions concerning the equipment change.
