The PGA Tour tees it up at its first event of the new year at the Sentry Tournament of Champions this week in Maui. A field of 39 golfers are vying for a bucket of cash that’s doubled in size—$15 million in all, with $2.7 million going to the winner—from a year ago.
Not everyone in the field is a tournament champ from 2022. A permanent eligibility change has brought 10 golfers to Kapalua who didn’t win but who did qualify for the Tour Championship.
Another 13 golfers in the 2023 field are making their Sentry debuts.
There are just three past Sentry champs playing this week: Justin Thomas, Jordan Spieth and Xander Schauffele. There are two in the field who have won the Sony and need the Sentry for their Hawaii Double: Hideki Matsuyama and Russell Henley.
Here’s a closer look at the six golfers who have earned the double dip on the islands at the Sentry Tournament of Champions and the Sony Open in Hawaii.
