Michael Thompson gets his sophomore season on the PGA Tour underway tomorrow at the Sony Open in Honolulu, Hawaii. Michael will be looking to carry over his momentum from last month's third place finish at the Thailand Golf Championship into the early part of the 2012 season.
As a Tour veteran, Michael will be able to have much more control over his playing schedule. Last year, as a rookie, Michael was subject to the dreaded re-shuffle list which basically meant he'd have to perform well to earn starts. This year, his higher priority status means that he'll be able to play in most of the PGA Tour events he wants to. Michael's early schedule will include starts at the Sony Open, the Humana Challenge, the Farmer's Insurance Open, and the Waste Management Phoenix Open.
This week's Sony Open is being played at the Waialae Country Club in Honolulu. Windy conditions are typical for this event and the wind typically blows cross-course. The course favors accuracy off the tee rather than distance because the greens are small and the course is lined by numerous palm trees.
First Round Tee Time
Michael's first round of 2012 will get underway at 12:40pm Hawaii time from the tenth tee at the Waialae Country Club. He'll be playing with Joe Ogilvie and Gavin Coles.
Television Coverage
The Golf Channel will be covering the Sony Open this week. Thursday's first round coverage is on from 7pm ET to 10:30pm ET. and will be rebroadcast at 11pm ET.
