Hideki Matsuyama captured The Sentry in record-setting fashion, shooting 35 under for the week and setting a new record for score in relation to par and most birdies or better (35) in a single PGA Tour event. He topped Collin Morikawa by three shots, and his worst round of the week was an 8-under 65, which he did three times.

The PGA Tour is back. In Hawaii. Which meant beautiful images of the best players in the world playing at Kapalua’s Plantation Course with the water, whales and waves in the background. Speaking of beautiful. Hideki Matsuyama showed up and steamrolled the field shooting 65-65-62-65 to set a tournament-record 35-under-par 257 total to top Collin Morikawa by three shots. He took home $3.6 million for his 11th PGA Tour victory, this one a signature event with a $20 million purse. Morikawa walked away with $2.16 million. Sungjae Im, unbeliebably, shot 29 under par for the week and ended third place. He earned $1.36 million. Those who qualified but opted not to play were Tommy Fleetwood, Shane Lowry, Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler. Scheffler, the tour’s player of the year for 2024. He announced last week that he injured his right hand when helping prepare a Christmas dinner at home in Texas. Here is the rundown of what each player earned this week in Hawaii.

A new season has begun on the PGA Tour, and while the setting at the Sentry remains pristine, laid-back and undisputedly Hawaiian, the stakes are high: a $20 million purse, with $3.6 million to the winner.
