The Sentry 2024: Thursday tee times and pairings explored

The PGA Tour is back this week. The Sentry 2024 is set to tee off the American circuit’s new season on Thursday, January 4, at the Kapalua Resort's Plantation Course in Hawaii. The event, formerly the Sentry Tournament of Champions, will see a 59-player field compete for the top prize.

The Sentry will feature a stacked field comprising 2023 PGA Tour winners as well as the top 50 finishers off the FedEx Cup points list. The first signature event of the year will see players like FedEx Cup winner Viktor Hovland and World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler compete for the $3.6 million winner’s share of the $20 million purse.

The event also offers 700 FedEx Cup points, a significant hike from the standard 500 points offered for a PGA Tour win.
