This week the Tour returns to Palm Springs.
The American Express tournament has a cut after 54-holes. Each player plays one round at La Quinta CC, one at the Jack Nicklaus Tournament course and then 1 round at the PGA West Stadium Course. Then the final round is played again at the PGA West Stadium Course.
This is usually the biggest birdie-fest on Tour. It's mainly due to the lack of length and very receptive greens. Usually the proximity to the cup on Yellow Zone shots is the shortest on Tour and the same with shots from 10-20 yards. But in general most strokes are lost and gained from the Yellow Zone here.
The problem is that it's such an easy layout of courses projecting winners or top finishers is extremely difficult.
Projected Winning Score: -26

Where you can practice side saddle putting with different golf balls and on different greens. A variety of views and distances allow you to zero in on your strengths and weaknesses. Randy Haggs provides everything you need for a smooth and consistent stroke.
