While many on the PGA Tour are discussing the struggling economy and concerned about the impact it will have on future sponsorship opportunities, PGA Tour players have an opportunity to make money in a different way in 2009.
A $1 million competition called the Kodak Challenge begins at the Mercedes-Benz Championship. At 24 tournaments throughout the year, one hole will be chosen as part of the program. Players must play at least 18 of the 24 holes, and for each player, the lowest score relative to par at that hole will count in the competition. At the end of the year, the player with the lowest total across 18 holes will win $1 million.
The hole being used on Kapalua's Plantation course is the par-5 18th. Among others to be used will be the 14th at Torrey Pines for the Buick Invitational and the 18th at Pebble Beach. The next one will be at the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic at the end of January.
