Philadelphia, PA (SportsNetwork.com) - PGA TOUR - SHRINERS HOSPITALS FOR CHILDREN OPEN, TPC Summerlin, Las Vegas, Nevada -- The PGA Tour heads to Las Vegas this week for the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open.
Last year, Ryan Moore closed with a 5-under 66 on Sunday to win by one shot over Brendon de Jonge. Moore's finishing total of 24-under-par 260 set a new 72-hole tournament scoring record.
Like last week's season-opening Frys.com Open, this tournament will offer full FedExCup points and the winner will earn an invite to the Masters for the first time.
Moore, who makes his home in Las Vegas, will return to defend his title and seeks to become the second back-to-back winner in tournament history. Jim Furyk became the first consecutive winner when he captured the titles in 1998 and 1999.
The remainder of the field will include four of the top 30 players in the world rankings, led by No. 11 Zach Johnson. The other players ranked in the top 30 are No. 24 Webb Simpson, No. 27 Nick Watney and No. 30 Hideki Matsuyama.
Golf Channel will have full television coverage of this event.
The PGA Tour moves to Malaysia next week for the CIMB Classic in Kuala Lumpur, where Nick Watney fired a 10-under 61 on Sunday to rally and win by a stroke.
GRAND SLAM OF GOLF -- Port Royal Golf Course, Southampton, Bermuda -- Also on tap this week for the PGA Tour is the Grand Slam of Golf.
The exclusive 36-hole event is reserved for the season's four major champions, who are Masters winner Adam Scott, U.S. Open winner Justin Rose, PGA champion Jason Dufner and British Open titlist Phil Mickelson.
Mickelson will not participate in the event because of a scheduling conflict, however, and will be replaced by defending Grand Slam of Golf winner Padraig Harrington.
Harrington closed with a 4-under 67 last year to earn a 1-stroke victory over Webb Simpson. The field also included Keegan Bradley and Bubba Watson.
TNT will have exclusive television coverage of both rounds.
