Coachman: Spieth, younger generation return Kapalua to prominence

World No. 1 Jordan Spieth seems to say the right things at the right time. When asked about starting his year this week at the winners-only Hyundai Tournament of Champions, he aced his answer.

"This is one [tournament] that we strive to make each year, and if I am eligible to play in this tournament and I'm not [playing in it], I hope every single one of you calls me and bashes me for it," he said to the assembled media prior to this week's event.

It hasn't always been that way for other star players to start the year on the PGA Tour.
