The Sentry 2024 is set to tee off on Thursday, January 4, at the Kapalua Resort's Plantation Course in Hawaii. The event will feature a 59-player field headlined by Scottie Scheffler, Viktor Hovland, Patrick Cantlay, Max Homa and more. The event, being played in its originally intended slot, will tee off the 2024 PGA Tour season.

The Sentry, formerly known as the Sentry Tournament of Champions, is an invite-only event. The three-day Hawaiian outing will feature only PGA Tour winners from last year and the top 50 finishers in the prior season's FedEx Cup points list. The event doesn’t have an alternate list and features one of the most stacked fields on the Tour.
