Taylor apparently couldn't give a rat's ass about the new season of American Idol this week. Too busy having fun at the Bob Hope Golf Classic in Palm Springs.

Taylor Hicks Returns to the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic ~!

Yes, folks, Taylor will take Palm Springs, CA by storm again and hit the greens for The Bob Hope Chrysler Classic, January 16-20.

The winner of the fifth season of “American Idol”, Hicks returns to play at the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic off the success of his debut album and his single “Do I Make You Proud”, a number one hit which was certified gold. His energetic stage performances and soul and blues influenced music have earned him a following of devout fans who are dubbed the “Soul Patrol”.

Here's a nice video of last years events! Enjoy! :)
