The first full week of golf in 2023 has the PGA Tour in California, the LPGA Tour in Florida, the PGA Tour Champions in Hawaii and the European tour in the Middle East. The American Express in the California desert features five of the top seven players in the world, including Scottie Scheffler and Jon Rahm. The LPGA Tour’s season opener is the Tournament of Champions but still has only four of the top 10 in the world. The PGA Tour Champions has its opener on the Big Island. Bernhard Langer is one win away from the career wins record.
