Jon Rahm earned his eighth career PGA TOUR victory at the 2023 Sentry Tournament of Champions to mark his seventh consecutive season with a win on TOUR. The Spaniard became the first player to follow a runner-up finish with a victory the following season at The Plantation Course at Kapalua since Vijay Singh in 2007. Rahm entered the day seven strokes back and equaled the largest come-from-behind victory at the Sentry Tournament of Champions (Gary Player/1978). With the win, Rahm qualified for a return trip to Maui in January 2024.
In August, the PGA TOUR and Sentry Insurance, which has served as title sponsor of the Sentry Tournament of Champions since 2018, announced a sponsorship extension through 2035. The new term further extended a 10-year partnership announced in January of 2020.
The Sentry Tournament of Champions was held at The Plantation Course at Kapalua from Jan. 4-8 2023 with an increased purse of $15 million, up from $8.2 million in 2022. Additionally, the event will lead off 2024 when the TOUR transitions to a calendar-year season.
Beginning with the 2023 event, the Sentry Tournament of Champions field, which includes all winners from official PGA TOUR events in the preceding calendar year, will also include the top 30 players from the FedExCup Playoffs Points list who qualify for the TOUR Championship in recognition of the outstanding performance required throughout the FedExCup Season to advance to East Lake. The Sentry Tournament of Champions is now an elevated event on the TOUR schedule and joins a select list of events that the top 30 players who qualify for the TOUR Championship earn exemptions into including the Masters Tournament, PGA Championship, U.S. Open, Genesis Scottish Open, and The Open Championship.
