The Sentry Tournament of Champions was informed in early August that the PGA TOUR Policy Board has approved a new tournament eligibility category to include the men’s Olympic gold medalist in the year following his win, provided he is a full member of the TOUR at the time of his gold medal performance.
The approved category will qualify 2020 Tokyo gold medalist Xander Schauffele for the 2022 Sentry Tournament of Champions, which returns to The Plantation Course at Kapalua, January 5-9.
Xander is the 2019 Sentry Tournament of Champions. In addition to Schauffele, 30 players have currently qualified for the Sentry Tournament of Champions courtesy of their PGA TOUR victories in the 2021 calendar year, including seven of the top 10 in the FedExCup standings – Collin Morikawa, Jordan Spieth, Patrick Cantlay, Jon Rahm, Harris English, Bryson DeChambeau, Justin Thomas and Schauffele.
The Sentry Tournament of Champions, the first TOUR event of the 2022 calendar year, is the only winners-only event on the PGA TOUR schedule. For more information about the Sentry Tournament of Champions or to purchase tickets, please visit SentryTournamentOfChampions.com.
