THE HYUNDAI TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS 2016

By Ron Sambrano

It is that time of the year again at Kapalua's Plantation Golf Course, designed by professional Golfer Ben Crenshaw and Bill Coore, the monster 7,411 yard par 73 course will be the stomping ground for some of the greatest talents in the world to ever swing a golf club. What was originally a Mark Rolfing event back in the day, that morphed into a primetime PGA event, the Plantation is already hallowed grounds. Tiger Woods graced this course and won a championship here. With Tiger no doubt aging, and who knows when he will call it quits, and when that day does come, we here on Maui will have this to say, and that is "Tiger Woods played here, a legend, the kid that set the bar for these young guys coming up, yes, the Planation Course has its history."
