2019 Sentry Tournament of Champions tee times, viewer's guide

Sentry Tournament of Champions - Preview Day 1

Sam Greenwood

Following a mini offseason, the PGA Tour returns this week in Maui, Hawaii with the Sentry Tournament of Champions, the first event of 2019. The field, which consists only of PGA Tour winners from the previous calendar year, will take on the Plantation Course at Kapalua, host of the tournament since 1999.

Of the 37 winners from last year, 34 made the trip to Hawaii, with only Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and Justin Rose electing to not tee it up. Defending champion Dustin Johnson leads the way as he looks to win the event for a third time, something only five players have done in the tournament's 66-year history. Johnson will play the opening two rounds alongside Bryson DeChambeau, who hopes to continue a red-hot stretch that's included three wins in his last five PGA Tour starts.

Another to watch is Brooks Koepka, who begins 2019 as World No. 1 but could quickly lose it again to Rose if he doesn't post a strong finish in Maui. Former World No. 1s Rory McIlroy, Jason Day and Justin Thomas are also in the Sentry field.
