The PGA Tour’s first tournament — and first Signature Event — of the 2024 season finishes on Sunday, when one pro will win The Sentry and pocket a $3.6 million check. Sounds nice, right?
Chris Kirk leads the tournament through 54 holes, as the 38-year-old pro is 21 under on the Plantation Course at Kapalua after his Saturday 66. Kirk has a one-shot lead over Akshay Bhatia and is two clear of Xander Schauffele, Jordan Spieth and Byeong Hun An. Reigning PGA Tour Player of the Year Scottie Scheffler is among the group at 18 under, three shots off the lead.
Kirk is chasing his sixth career PGA Tour victory. He’s 3 for 6 in converting 54-hole leads or co-leads. If Kirk holds on, he’ll snag his biggest paycheck to date. The $20 million Sentry purse awards $3.6 million to the winner. Even the runner-up gets $2.16 million, and third takes home $1.36 million.
