The injury is a tough break for Scheffler, who by missing the event at Kapalua is out of a chance compete in the season’s first signature event, with the field of 2024 winners and the top 50 finishers in the FedEx Cup standings vying for a total purse of $20 million and first prize of $3.6 million.

There were 65 players on the tournament's original qualifiers list. Among those not headed to Kapalua is last year's Sony Open in Hawaii champion, Grayson Murray, who died in May. The three other qualifiers not playing the Sentry next week: Rory McIlroy, Wyndham Clark and Nick Taylor.
