The PGA begins the golf season with the annual Hyundai Tournament of Champions golf tournament at Kapalua Resort in West Maui. Playing on the famed Plantation course, participating golfers will be challenged by the course length combined with sometimes difficult winds.
With the mainland entrenched in an already cold winter season with early snow storms sweeping across much of the country, the beautiful tropical scenery of Maui will be on display to provide a welcome warm up! The entire golf world is likely to be watching last seasons champions compete for the $1.1 million dollars winners prize on the Golf Channel. The Pro Am got underway today and several of the professional golfers have been vacationing on Maui before the tournament begins Friday. The final round will be played on Monday, January 7th and will be broadcast live on The Golf Channel (broadcast times below). Watch The Golf Channel for professional golf, beautiful Maui scenery and if you are lucky a whale jumping in the background of the tournament!
Comfort Zone Catering serves lunches for volunteers, on-course concessions and 18th hole SkyBoxes:
- Concessions with a staff of 30 scattered around the golf course will be serving Shoyu Chicken, Hot Dogs and Grilled Hamburgers to hungry golf fans.
- Sky Boxes on 18th hole, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and on Monday the tournament final.
- 350 daily box lunches for media and volunteers.
Thanks to the tournament for the more than $4 million dollars provided to Maui charities since the tournament moved to Kapalua in 1999.
