The Sentry Tournament of Champions is the first “elevated” event on the PGA Tour’s schedule this year — and boy, is it lucrative for the 39 players competing at Kapalua this week.
The winner will take home a whopping $2.7 million check — that’s equal to the winner’s checks for both the Masters (won by Scottie Scheffler) and the PGA Championship (won by Justin Thomas) last year, and $200,000 more than the $2.5 million Cameron Smith claimed for winning the Open Championship.
