We need little excuse to revisit watery-eyed memories of Phil Mickelson's march to glory at the PGA Championship last May, and Lefty will be one of the star attractions in one of the strongest ever Tournament of Champions fields.
The key storyline, however, is undoubtedly the battle for No.1 spot between the incumbent Jon Rahm and Collin Morikawa. The Spaniard returns to action after a self-imposed break of more than two months.
Morikawa continued his meteoric rise in 2021, tasting victory at the Open Championship, the WGC-Workday Championship, the DP World Tour Championship and the Ryder Cup, and the 24-year-old has now got Rahm in his sights. Who will start the year as they mean to go on?
Follow our guide as we explain how to watch a 2022 Tournament of Champions live stream from anywhere this week.

Tournament of Champions live stream: watch PGA Tour golf with cable in the US
Golf fans based in the US are spoiled for choice, with coverage of the Tournament of Champions. It's split between the Golf Channel, NBC and ESPN Plus but it's worth remembering that ESPN Plus is the only place to watch every session.
The Golf Channel's coverage runs from 6pm ET / 3pm PT to 10pm ET / 7pm PT during rounds 1, 2 and 3, and from 6pm ET / 3pm PT to 8pm ET / 5pm PT on the final Sunday.
NBC is only showing two hours of play, from 4pm ET / 1pm PT to 6pm ET / 3pm PT, on Sunday.
ESPN Plus, meanwhile, is showing featured groups and featured holes from 3.15pm ET / 12.15pm PT to 10pm ET / 7pm PT on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and from 1.30pm ET / 10.30am PT to 8pm ET / 5pm PT on Sunday.
If you've got the channels on cable, simply head to the Golf Channel website and the NBC website, and log in with your cable credentials to stream their coverage online.

Sling TV is perhaps the best value cord-cutting service out there right now. Its Sling Blue plan ($35 per month) hosts NBC while an $11 Sports Extra add-on nets you the extra Golf Channel coverage as well.
The great news, though, is that you can get three days of Sling for FREE at the moment while you make your mind up whether you want to continue to subscribe.
Another great option is FuboTV. It includes both the Golf Channel and NBC in its Starter plan.
At $65 per month, it's pricier than Sling but more fully-featured. You can cancel at any point and, if you haven't had Fubo before, you can take advantage of its FREE trial and watch the Tournament of Champions without paying a penny, if that's how you choose to play it.
Lastly, there's the ESPN Plus option which is very tempting, at just $6.99 per month, and you can save cash by committing to the $69.99 per year option or the $13.99 per month combined ESPN Plus, Hulu and Disney Plus bundle.

Can you watch Tournament of Champions 2022 golf in Canada?
Sadly there's no confirmed broadcaster for the 2022 Tournament of Champions in Canada at the time of writing. The only alternative is to use one of the best VPN service providers to tap into coverage from another nation, as described above.
The software is generally ideal for this as it allows you to change your IP address and appear to be in a completely different location - and all through a safe, encrypted connection. But do bear in mind that most paid streaming services do require a credit card based in the country the service is from.
