How To Watch The Safeway Open On Sky Sports
After a thrilling Tour Championship and a week off at the Presidents Cup, the PGA Tour returns this week for its first event of the new season - the Safeway Open in Napa, California at Silverado Resort and Spa.
Last year's winner Brendan Steele is there to defend, as is Phil Mickelson and a certain Sang-Moon Bae, who is back on Tour after two years undertaking mandatory military service in South Korea.
Silverado has played host to the Safeway Open for three years now and, with the winning scores at -15, -15 and -18, we can expect some birdies.
