The first tournament of the new year also packs a serious payday, as the Sentry also has the distinction of being the first of eight Signature Events on the PGA Tour in 2025.

It’s a pretty great way to kick things off if you’re a player in the top 60: a week in paradise, no cut, and a golf course that is yielding birdies by the dozen.

Hideki Matsuyama is on track to challenge the scoring record Cameron Smith set at Kapalua’s Plantation course in 2022, where his memorable battle with Jon Rahm brought him to a record-setting 34 under par. Matsuyama’s record-breaking 54-hole tally is 27 under par, thanks to a round of 11-under-par 62 on Saturday.

That’s pretty impressive. But like Smith, Matsuyama also has a chaser close by. Collin Morikawa is only one shot back at 26 under par, after he too shot a 62 on Saturday. The two major winners have separated themselves from the pack ahead of Sunday’s final round. Thomas Detry is their closest peer, at 22 under.

In addition to a potential new entry in the PGA Tour record books, Matsuyama, Morikawa and the rest of field are also pursuing a sweet purse. A whopping $20 million is up for grabs on Sunday. Below, you can see how it all breaks down.
