Hurley set for Tour debut
Tour debut for former Navy officer in Hawaii
Billy Hurley will make his debut as a full member of the PGA Tour on Thursday at the Sony Open - just two and a half years after leaving his position as a lieutenant in the US Navy.
Hurley will join the likes of Tournament of Champions winner Steve Stricker, world number seven Webb Simpson and KJ Choi in Hawaii, where Mark Wilson won last year.
Hurley spent two years of active duty aboard the USS Chung-Hoon, a missile destroyer based in Pearl Harbour, before leaving in 2009 and setting his sights on succeeding as a professional golfer.
While at the Naval Academy, the 29-year-old had excelled in the amateur game and played in the Palmer Cup and Walker Cup teams.
The Navy was set to give Hurley the chance to play full-time on the PGA Tour but he was unable to earn his card. - http://www1.skysports.com/
