Welcome back, PGA Tour.
The season-opening event is set to begin Thursday in Maui, Hawaii, at Kapalua’s Plantation Course with The Sentry. The 59-player field is a no-cut signature event, the first of the year, and plenty of the world’s best players are in the field, which is comprised of winner’s from last season on the PGA Tour as well as the top 50 in the 2022-23 FedExCup Points List through the Tour Championship.
Top-ranked Scottie Scheffler will look to build off his victory at the Hero World Challenge last month. Meanwhile, FedEx Cup champion Viktor Hovland, Patrick Cantlay, Xander Schauffele, last year’s runner-up Collin Morikawa and a host of others will look to get their year started off with a bang. Jon Rahm is the defending champion.
Hovland won the last two times he teed it up in official starts on the PGA Tour at the BMW Championship and Tour Championship. The last player to win three consecutive starts on Tour was Dustin Johnson during the 2016-17 season. Hovland is making his fourth start at the Sentry and has yet to finish in the top 10.
Kapalua’s Plantation Course ranks No. 2 in Golfweek’s Best list of public-access courses in Hawaii, and it also is No. 39 on Golfweek’s Best list of modern courses in the U.S.
