When will Chris Kirk tee off on Thursday at the 2024 Sony Open in Hawaii? The Sentry champion’s tee times explored

Chris Kirk started off the 2024 PGA Tour season with a win at The Sentry last week. The 38-year-old golfer plans to return to the greens this week with the 2024 Sony Open in Hawaii. Kirk will tee off at 01:00 pm ET on Thursday, January 11. He will take the first tee alongside defending champion Si Woo Kim and 2021 Masters champion Hideki Matsuyama.

Ahead of the Sony Open, Kirk beat Sahith Theegala by one stroke to lift The Sentry trophy. He carded six-under-67 in the opening round, which included six birdies. He shot a bogey-free 8-under-65 on the second day and followed it with a round of 7-under-66. The one-shot victory earned him $3.6 million in prize money and 700 FedEx Cup points for the win.

For the unversed, the Sony Open is being played at the Waialae Country Club in Honolulu. The PGA Tour event will feature a 144-player field, including 20 of the top 50 in the Official World Golf Ranking as its top contenders. It’ll be interesting to see if Kirk manages to make it two-in-two at Hawaii this weekend.

Notably, 24-year-old Ludvig Aberg is the favorite to win the Sony Open according to SportsLine. Despite being in hot form, Kirk sits 10th on the list with 35-1 odds behind 2023 PGA Tour Rookie of the Year winner Eric Cole.
