PALM BEACH, Fla. — Brandt Snedeker and Boo Weekley won the Golf Skills Challenge in a playoff at The Breakers on Monday.

In the final of the worse-ball portion of the contest, Snedeker and Weekly initially tied finalists J.B. Holmes and Kenny Perry at par, forcing a playoff on the 305-yard, par-4, 14th hole.

Snedeker and Weekly, who split $314,000 in total prize money, gained an edge when Holmes’ drive landed next door on the 15th tee. Holmes put them into further trouble by hitting into a trap 46 feet from the hole.

“He hits it so long it’s kind of hard for him to gear down,” Weekly said. “When J.D. hit it left I figured he’d kind of hit a 4-iron or 3-iron and lay back a little bit.

“It was a tough shot from over there.”

The champions sank a three-foot putt to win $200,000 for the reverse scramble portion of the event. Holmes made a six-foot putt for par, but Perry’s putt skimmed past the hole, ending it.

“I thought it was awesome,” Snedeker said of the format. “It put a lot more pressure on you when you realize you could let your partner down besides yourself. That makes it much harder.”

Snedecker and Weekley set themselves apart from the rest of the field by winning three of the first six skills challenges — the bunker shot, chip shot and trouble shot.

The other three were the long drive, mid-iron, and short iron.

In the worse-ball semifinals, also played on the 14th, Snedecker and Weekly faced Fred Couples and Hunter Mahan.

The other semifinal had Holmes and Perry against Fred Funk and Nick Price.

Boo started 2010 with a -1 finish at the Sony Open.  Stay tuned as we update where Boo is headed and his results through the 2010 PGA season.  Best of luck to Boo!

D.C. Reeves

When asked how he prepared for the 2010 PGA Tour season, enthusiasm boomed from Boo Weekley’s voice.

“I ain’t been doing nothing,” Weekley said proudly. “I’ve been hunting.”

After struggling on tour in 2009, Weekley, a Milton High graduate, decided to set his game aside this winter. Instead of golf spikes and swing coaches, it was camouflage, shotguns and plenty of rest.

Hoping to return refreshed and ready, Weekley will put that regimen —or lack thereof — to the test on Thursday with the first round of the Sony Open in Hawaii. He tees off at 11:40 a.m. Pensacola time.

“He had a big year and a half where he was being pulling a bunch of different ways,” said Jimmy Johnston, Weekley’s agent. “This (offseason) was his time to reflect a little bit and figure out what he needed to do. He just wanted to get away from (golf), but last week he told me ‘I’m ready to play. For the first time in a year and a half, I’m ready to get back out there.’”

Thanks to a repeat win at the Verizon Heritage Classic and an unforgettable performance in the Ryder Cup, Weekley became one of the tour’s household names during the 2008 season. With the momentum of fame and two consecutive finishes in the top 25 of the PGA Tour money list, Weekley seemed destined for a huge year in 2009. But his game didn’t follow the script.

Barraged with more attention than ever in 2009, Weekley’s first and only top 10 finish was at this same Sony Open, coming in just his second event of the season. He missed the cut at the Masters in April. Then came the biggest blow, when Weekley tore his labrum during the final round of The Players Championship in May. The injury forced him to withdraw.

He rested and rehabbed the shoulder for a month, but Weekley pressed that injury in the final half of the year, playing 10 times in the final 14 weeks. During the last five events, a stretch that included the FedEx Cup Playoffs, Weekley never finished better than 32nd and shot 74 or higher seven times.

“(The injury) affected me a bunch, mentally more than physically,” Weekley said. “It didn’t hurt bad, it was just aggravating. It wouldn’t bring you to a tear or anything, but I didn’t want to make it any worse than it was.”

Making more than $2.3 million in each of the two previous seasons, Weekley made just $1.1 million in 2009, ranking him 85th on the money list.

Wanting to bounce back for this season, Weekley took some time away from the game, hunting in Texas and Illinois in November and December. Weekley did play in two offseason events, winning the ADT Skills Challenge and placing eighth in the Shark Shootout.

Other than that, it’s been casual rounds at home or nothing at all.

Weekley finally ramped it up again last week, reacquainting with three long days of practice at Sea Island, Ga.

“I’ve just been chilling out, letting my shoulder heal up,” Weekley said. “And I think that has helped a lot.”

Starting Thursday, we’ll see if some much-needed time away from the course improves his game on it.

Boo will be playing in an upcoming PGA tournament in Hawaii this month. He will begin the Sony Open in Hawaii at the Waialae Country Club in Honolulu, Hawaii. This tournament will begin on Thursday, January 14th and will conclude on December, January 17th.

We’ll keep you updated. Good luck Boo!
