Well … we made it through 2020. As a treat, let’s watch some prime time golf at the rejuvenated Plantation Course at the Kapalua Resort.
The Sentry Tournament of Champions kicks off the new year for the PGA Tour with a unique field this week at Kapalua’s Plantation Course. Ordinarily the event features only tournament winners from the previous calendar year. But with COVID-19 forcing a mid-season stoppage in play, this year’s TOC field will also feature 17 golfers who earned a spot in Hawaii via by qualifying for the Tour Championship.
Last year’s playoff winner, Justin Thomas, will look to defend his title against the likes of Jon Rahm, Patrick Reed, Collin Morikawa, Bryson DeChambeau, Xander Schauffele and Dustin Johnson. DJ, the reigning FedEx Cup champion, will be making his first start since his dominant Masters victory in November.
Out of the 45 golfers eligible to compete this week, 42 will be teeing off with just Rory McIlroy, Tyrrell Hatton and Jim Herman skipping Maui. The last four winners of this event went on to finish in the top five of the FedEx Cup standings at season’s end.
The winner will receive 500 FedEx Cup points and a $1.34 million share of the $6.7 million purse.
Golf Channel will carry live coverage from Thursday through Saturday from 6 p.m.-10 p.m. ET. NBC will carry live coverage on Sunday from 4-6 p.m. ET, with Golf Channel finishing the day’s coverage from 6-8 p.m. ET.
