KAPALUA, Hawaii (AP) — As expected, today the PGA Tour’s season opener figures to be filled with anticipation at the Tournament of Champions.

Not because of who might win, but whether they might actually start this tournament.

Already, a few historical notes are worthy of research. This is believed to be the first PGA Tour event to start on a Monday.

The opening round was wiped from the books for the second time on Sunday when gusts that reached 48 mph came roaring down the Plantation Course and turned this winners-only tournament into goofy ball. Ben Curtis had birdie putts on his first two holes. He made a double bogey and a triple bogey. Matt Kuchar’s ball was blown off the tee before he could hit his opening tee shot.
