When does the PGA Tour season start for you?

[bkuehn1952]

I do not like the wrap-around season.  For me the start should be the Tournament of Champions, although I may not watch or pay attention very much until the Crosby in February.

It starts with the first tournament of the season.

I am not much of a follower of the PGA tour. That said, imo, their season starts when most of the top 20 imerge from hibernation to play against each other. That, or when ever the first FedEx points tourney happens.

With snow on the ground here since late November I'll even watch reruns of golf! The indoor ranges help but it's a long 4-5 months before golf resumes here! I did watch the October start of the 2016-2017 season.

Florida swing.

[chilepepper]

It starts when I happen to come across a live tourney on tv. I don't " follow" it too closely

Sadly, I did not qualify this year. Perhaps I can get a sponsors exemption or 2.

There's always Monday qualifiers...  

[Divot Master]

Whichever is the first tournament of the year to include a majority of last year's top 30 players.

I'm not a fan of Mondays.

I don't really care.  I only watch the majors and a few tournaments.

For me, it has long been the Crosby "clambake" that gets me all horny for golf! Both for playing and watching. Admittedly all the celebrities gives it a bit of the "silly season" feel, but there's just something about Pebble Beach! I'll also try to catch as much as I can of the tournament at Riviera, and the Florida swing.

Usually the weather is still pretty crappy up here, so the early season tourneys get a lot of watching. Once the weather gets right and I can play, I basically dial my viewing back to the majors.

[Rainmaker]

I chose The Masters because that's the first tournament in 2017 that I will anticipate and watch with interest.  I could also have chosen Pebble Beach . . but even though I "recognize" it . .I tend not to watch more than an hour of the singles coverage (and none of the celebrity rounds . .anything worth seeing from those days (and plenty of stuff not worth seeing, lol) will make it on Golf Central).

This is my choice too. Kapalua is stunning and it's fun to watch when there is three feet of snow on the ground.

Where is the option for -The First Tournament Tiger Plays In?

That is my vote.

Or The Masters, whichever comes first.

It's not that I don't watch any of the fall season events, but I have a hard time relating any of them to the 2017 "season". When they play the TofC at Kapalua, then I I know that things are back on track. Besides, I enjoy seeing the shots of Molokai in the distance...it's my favorite island in Hawaii.

For me, the season starts when they starting airing rounds on network channels: NBC, CBS, etc.  Because then I can actually watch it.
