"Why not simply delay the start of the PGA Tour season a few weeks?"

Two excellent suggestions from Bob Harig to cure what ails the season opening SBS Championship at Kapalua:

Why not simply delay the start of the PGA Tour season a few weeks? A perfect place to begin would be the week presently occupied by the San Diego Open. It is the open week between the NFC and AFC title games and the Super Bowl. No matter where a tournament is played that week, it would get a nice run, unopposed. The following week perhaps you could play a tournament that ends on Saturday, the day before Super Bowl Sunday.

To help, perhaps a new format for the season-opening tournament -- whether it is in Hawaii or elsewhere -- is in order. Does any sport have a meeker opening than golf? A winners-only event sounds fine, but just 28 players are in Hawaii this week.
