The best players in the world have gathered in Kapalua for the PGA Tour’s first-ever elevated event. The 2023 Sentry Tournament of Champions is boasting its strongest field ever thanks to the higher status but is missing one key name.
Players are allowed to miss one elevated event per season and Rory McIlroy is cashing in that ticket early and will not play this week.
The Plantation Course at Kapalua is a par-73 track measuring 7,596 yards and is a Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw design.
Jon Rahm entered the week as the betting favorite at +650 followed by Scottie Scheffler at +900.
Check out some of the best photos from one of the most stunning venues we’ll see all year long.
