| It’s the first PGA tournament of the new year, previously the Mercedes Championship and now the Hyundai Tournament of Champions, and the win goes to Jonathon Bryd. The same Byrd who won in Las Vegas last year with a hole in one walk-off shot in a sudden death playoff. |
| Well, it was more of the same this year as Jonathon Byrd and Robert Garrigus would take the match into sudden death playoff. However, it wasn’t Byrd who needed to pull out the miracle, instead, he just had to wait for Garrigus to fall short. |

2010 Geoff Ogilvy winner

| Geoff Ogilvy successfully defended his title at Kapalua as he won the season-opening SBS Championship by a stroke in Hawaii. The Australian shot a final-round 67 at the par-73 Kapalua Resort Plantation Course to win by a shot at 22 under par from South Africa’s Rory Sabbatini and land the tournament of the previous year’s PGA Tour event winners for a second year in a row. |
