THE first tournament of the PGA Tour season will now be a three-day contest after severe winds in Hawaii prompted tour officials to scrap the first round of the Tournament of Champions on Friday in Kapalua, Hawaii.
All scores were erased as only 20 players in the 30-man field had started.
The round will start afresh with 36 holes, weather permitting.
"I can honestly say the forecast isn't real good, but maybe we'll get lucky," said Slugger White, the tour's vice president of rules and competition. "That's the hope."
Rickie Fowler and Jason Dufner, who supposedly started the 2013 season by playing in the first group, only made it through eight holes.
Six players, including defending champion Steve Stricker, had not even teed off.
It was the first time since The Players Championship in 2005 that a round had been wiped clean.
