The Sentry PGA Tour

 

The "Sentry Golf" that you are likely talking about will relate to the Sentry Tournament of Champions, an annual PGA Tour tournament. It usually occurs in early January and features exclusive participation. This is the tournament where the winner of a particular PGA Tour event from the prior calendar year qualifies to compete in it. The Sentry is a season-opener for the PGA Tour in many cases.

Certainly! Here's more information about the Sentry Tournament of Champions:

Overview
The Sentry Tournament of Champions is one of the most exciting and unique tournaments in the PGA Tour calendar. It is held at the Plantation Course at Kapaluwa Golf Club in Maui, Hawaii, and is the first event of the calendar year, taking place in early January.

Field
What makes this competition special is it's an invitation-only tournament meaning only players win a PGA tour event during last season's calender year so it's invited to the select few, of course, an elite event - a competitive and intense event immediately from the gate. The actual field is from 30 - 40 of the best participants and often involved golf stars include Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas, Dustin Johnson, and much more.

Course
The Plantation Course is known for its scenic views, wide fairways, and elevation changes. It is a par-73 layout, and the length of the course combined with the winds and elevation on the course makes it difficult. The beauty and design of the course make it one of the favorite spots for both players and fans.

Prize Pool and Format
The purse for the tournament is normally quite generous, over $8 million. It is a great opportunity for golfers to win a significant purse in competition, and the winner certainly pockets a tidy sum. It is a four-round stroke play event where the player with the lowest total number of strokes will be declared the winner.
