The now defunct PGA Grand Slam of Golf end of season tournament was played between 1994 and 2006 at the Poipu Bay Golf Course in Koloa, near the most southerly point of the island of Kauai. Hosting the tournament in Hawaii allowed the event to be televised live at prime-time in the United States because of the time difference.
Tiger Woods won seven of the eight 4-man competitions that he participated in here – claiming first place in the event for five consecutive years, starting in 1998 – but his best 18-hole score of 64 was easily beaten by the amazing thirteen-under-par course record of 59 that Phil Mickelson posted in 2004.
Highlight holes include the 179-yard 7th (the shortest par three on the card, with a large pond protecting the right side of the putting surface), the 501-yard 16th (the longest par four on the course, played along the clifftops to an offset green that’s partially obscured on the left by an ancient rock wall), and the 550-yard 18th, where water protects the left side of the home green.
