The Sentry, formerly the Tournament of Champions, kicked off the 2025 PGA Tour season with a limited 60-player field competing for a share of the $20 million prize pool. This no-cut event featured all winners from 2024 and the top 50 in the previous season’s FedExCup standings.
Scottie Scheffler, the World No. 1, missed out on the tournament due to a hand injury sustained during Christmas dinner, which left the field more open than usual. Xander Schauffele, a two-time major winner in 2024, was headlining the field in Scheffler’s absence.
Defending champion Chris Kirk, who won in 2024 by edging Sahith Theegala by one stroke, returned to defend his title. Other notable absences include Jon Rahm and Cam Smith, who both joined LIV Golf. While Rory McIlroy and Tommy Fleetwood, also missed out as they plan to start their 2025 seasons on the DP World Tour.
The winner of the tournament, Hideki Matsuyama, showed up and steamrolled the field shooting 65-65-62-65 to set a tournament-record 35-under-par 257 total to top Collin Morikawa by three shots. He took home $3.6 million for his 11th PGA Tour victory and 700 FedExCup points.
