Mercedes Championships


 

The Mercedes Championships (the pluralisation is official) is the opening event of golf's PGA Tour season. The field is restricted to golfers who won an event on the Tour in the previous season. It is played in Hawaii in January. The event dates from 1953 and has previously been known as the "Tournament of Champions" (1953-1974), the "MONY Tournament of Champions" (1975-1990), and the "Infiniti Tournament of Champions" (1991-93). The first prize is one of the larger ones on the Tour, and due to the small field it is 20% of the overall prize fund rather than the standard 18%. In 2005 the first prize was $1,060,000 out of a fund of $5,300,000.
