New US PGA Tour season tees off with Woods still in limbo
Phil Mickelson, energized by America's Ryder Cup triumph, was raring to go in Napa, California, where the US PGA Tour season tees off Thursday with the Safeway Open. "Well, after five solid days off it's exciting to start the year," the five-time major champion said in a jokey jab at the quick turnaround from the Ryder Cup to the opening event on the 2016-17 calendar. Little more than a fortnight ago, Rory McIlroy capped the 2015-16 season with a scintillating victory in the US PGA Tour Championship — nabbing the $10 million FedEx Cup playoff bonus into the bargain.
