A drivable par-4 hole on the PGA TOUR is defined as a hole in which the tee shot lands within 30 yards of the edge of the green. If a player's tee ball gets within that 30-yard range, then he is deemed as "going for it" and the par-4 hole is considered drivable.

This week, the players in the field at the Northern Trust Open will face one of the top drivable par-4 holes on TOUR. The 315-yard 10th hole at Riviera Country Club ranked seventh on TOUR last year in percentage of players who went for the green.

This week, the 10th hole will offer an added bonus for players -- it's the Kodak Challenge hole, the season-long competition in which the winner receives $1 million (click here for details). If last year is any indication, you can expect more than half the tee shots struck at the 10th to wind up on or near the green.
