As I type this, J.P. Hayes is 7 under, bogey free, through 13 holes. Heath Slocum is one shot behind and one hole ahead of him. And the action heats up, as it seems Jeff Klauk is now also one behind. All three are fun players to watch with interesting tidbits about them, although they aren't as popular as many of the players in another desert this week.

The weather report lists it as two degrees warmer there than it is here (Los Angeles, about 130 miles away from La Quinta), and I hope the cold* and rainy weather we've had the past few days doesn't adversely affect the tournament.


* : cold relative to Los Angeles' typical weather.

Field is poor.Doesn't make great watching.

That's a damn shame. When I was a kid in the late 1970s, it was one of the only golf tournaments to watch outside of the majors.

It doesn't seem that poor to me. Still a lot of great numbers being put up. It's definitely worth watching.

edit: Nevermind, I just found it.

I am conflicted about watching it. This tournament was built by the love of the game by an entertainer. It has a history of being great entertainment. George Lopez was the right guy to pick up the mantle of host, he LOVES the game and has the perfect temperament and persona for the tourney. Some group of people dumped him recently, (I would love to know the real story), and I think it was a shiesty thing to do.

...just like every other PGA professional on television he has his moments but he also does speak some truth (not on live as you saw yesterday, probably due to time constraints he can't get into topics too in-depth)...but at a 22 handi...yes, you can make this comment

just sayin

Although I'd love to see some bigger names in comp (Phil, Padraig, Stenson, etc), I still like watchin the guppies pummel each other trying to get to the food at the top of the fish tank....every now and then one of the older ones (Elkington) gets a bite like his chip in for birdie...Any golf, no matter who's playin, is better than most of the other crap that's on television

Even if the story of the provisionals hadn't happened, Tiger still wouldn't be playing the Hope this week. I don't think he's

ever played this tournament, and I can't imagine he would have started this year.

Yeah . .except I still have to wade through 5 news stories about the guy who ISN'T playing golf to get to the ones about the guys who are. Sheesh. I guess you really are the #1 player if you still capture 80% of headlines when you're NOT FREAKING PLAYING!!! (in other news, Tiger Woods is still not playing golf).
