The PGA Tour returns to Hawaii and Kapalua's Plantation Course for its first tournament of the 2025 calendar year at The Sentry.

The Sentry sees 59 of the PGA Tour's top players teeing it up in Maui for a massive $20 million purse.

It is one of eight signature events on the PGA Tour calendar, with the winner receiving a $3.6m check and 700 FedEx Cup points.

Almost all of the circuit's biggest stars are in the field, barring World No.1 Scottie Scheffler who has undergone surgery on his hand after injuring it on Christmas day, and World No.3 Rory McIlroy who traditionally begins his year in Dubai on the DP World Tour. McIlroy's fellow Ryder Cup players Tommy Fleetwood and Shane Lowry are also sitting out.

The field is made up of last year’s PGA Tour winners and other players who finished inside the top 50 of the 2024 FedEx Cup standings.

The Sentry will have no cut, meaning all 59 players will compete on Sunday and receive a share of the $20m prize fund.

Chris Kirk is the defending champion this week after he finished at 29-under-par to pip Sahith Theegala by one.
