2015-16 PGA TOUR Storylines

• The Hyundai Tournament of Champions marks the eighth official event of the PGA TOUR’s wraparound 2015-16 season schedule.
• Year 10 of the FedExCup consists of 47 events including the four FedExCup Playoff events.
• The Hyundai Tournament of Champions field includes winners from the 2015 calendar year, including the seven official events played in the fall. The Hyundai Tournament of Champions marks the resumption of the 2015-16 PGA TOUR schedule after a six-week break from official events.
• Continuing a trend from the 2014-15 season that saw a TOUR-record 24 victories by players under the age of 30, four of the seven winners so far this season have also been in their 20s.

A look at the 2015 Hyundai Tournament of Champions

• Patrick Reed overcame a two-shot deficit to defeat Jimmy Walker with a birdie on the first playoff hole to win his first Hyundai Tournament of Champions and fourth PGA TOUR event overall.
• The Texan’s dramatic comeback was accentuated by his eagle on the par-4 16th, holing an 80-yard wedge shot for the only eagle on the hole that week.
• Reed’s final round, 6-under 67, found him tied with Walker through 72 holes, one clear of Jason Day, Russell Henley and Hideki Matsuyama.
• With the win, Reed became the fourth player, joining Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy and Sergio Garcia, to record four or more wins before the age of 24 years and six months (Jordan Spieth joined that group later in the season).
