The 2025 PGA Tour Season Kicks Off with The Sentry in Hawaii!
Golf fans, get ready for an exciting showdown as the The Sentry tournament swings into action from January 2–5, 2024, at the beautiful Plantation Course in Kapalua, Maui. This event is the first of the season’s eight Signature Events, and it promises to deliver an unforgettable experience for players and fans alike!
Who to Watch?
This year’s competition will likely be a thrilling battle between two talented golfers: Hideki Matsuyama and Collin Morikawa. Both are currently showing off their skills, and their performances have set the stage for a memorable final round. As we head into the last day, Matsuyama is leading with a remarkable 27-under par score, just a single shot ahead of Morikawa. This score ties the record for the lowest 54-hole score on the PGA Tour since 1983!
In an exciting twist, both Matsuyama and Morikawa scored 62 in the record-breaking third round. What a sight to witness these two talented players making history on the course!
Other Competitors
While Matsuyama and Morikawa steal the spotlight, we shouldn’t forget about Thomas Detry, sitting comfortably in third place at 22 under. His chances of winning are looking good, with odds at 40-1. The competition is fierce, but that’s what we love about golf!
What Makes The Sentry Special?
For those who may not know, The Sentry was formerly known as the Tournament of Champions and has been held at the Plantation Course since 1999. This stunning course is known for its low-scoring potential, boasting only three par 3s across a total length of 7,596 yards and a par of 73. That’s right – this course invites players to go low! In recent years, past winning scores have been mind-blowing, with winning totals at 29, 27, and even 34 under par.
Prize Money Is No Joke!
With an elevated prize fund of $20 million, The Sentry is not just about bragging rights. The winner will take home a whopping $3.6 million. That’s a nice way to kick off the season, don’t you think?
Who’s Missing Out?
Not everyone will be taking part in this tournament. Unfortunately, Scottie Scheffler will not be hitting the greens due to an injury sustained from a glass incident. Meanwhile, Rory McIlroy is also sitting this one out as he chooses to debut his season on the DP World Tour. We’ll also miss seeing Tommy Fleetwood and Shane Lowry compete, as they won’t be participating either. What a difference these absences will make in the overall dynamics of the tournament!
Don’t Miss the Coverage!
Mark your calendars and prepare for the showdown! Live coverage will be brought to you from 4 PM to 6 PM (ET) on January 5, followed by another segment on the Golf Channel from 6 PM to 8 PM (ET). For international viewers, check your local listings! Fans from Canada can catch the action on TSN, while Australia has access via Fox Sports and Kayo Sports.
All Rounds Count!
What’s more exciting is that The Sentry is played over four rounds of stroke play with no halfway cut, so all competitors get to play all four rounds. That means more amazing golf to enjoy and more chances for all the players to shine!
So gear up, golf enthusiasts! The excitement of The Sentry awaits. Fingers crossed for some historic moments on the greens in Hawaii!
