Collin Morikawa reflects on his mindset heading into the finale of The Sentry 2025

Morikawa will enter the final round of The Sentry just one shot behind the tournament leader Hideki Matsuyama. He is in contention to win the title and is looking forward to having a good start to the season.

During the press conference after round 3 on Saturday, January 4, Morikawa opened up about his mindset heading into the finale. He said (via ASAP Sports):

"Leave it all out there. Just do what I can to just say, I've got 18 holes, not worried about the next tournament, not worried about the season, just worry about tomorrow, what's in front of me, one shot at a time, and see how it plays out. But definitely go out there and try and win this thing."

Interestingly, Collin Morikawa also had a strong start at The Sentry in 2024. He shot rounds of 65, 67, 70, and 65 to finish in T5 place. This year, he has started the season on a high note and is aiming to kick off his campaign with a victory.
