The 2023 Sentry Tournament of Champions, the first PGA Tour event of the new year, begins this week at Kapalua Resort in Hawaii. Here’s everything you need to know to watch the tournament.
Tournament of Champions preview
The holidays are in the rearview, and now it’s time for the new PGA Tour season to kick into full gear at the Tournament of Champions. A stellar field has gathered in beautiful Hawaii to make this a week to remember.
Among them is Jon Rahm. The former World No. 1 has fallen down to No. 5, but early this season he’s already showing signs of another dominant stretch. As a result, he’s installed as the betting favorite this week.
The limited 39-player field, which features only winners from last season, also includes 2022 major winners Justin Thomas, Matt Fitzpatrick and Scottie Scheffler, all of whom are looking to back up breakthrough season with another big year in 2023.
