News Summary
The PGA Tour season has officially begun with The Sentry in Hawaii, where Hideki Matsuyama emerged victorious. The tournament marked an exciting start for professional golf, featuring key players such as Scottie Scheffler returning from injury. As the season progresses through various prestigious tournaments, all eyes are on the upcoming Masters and the fierce competition ahead.
Hawaii – The 110th season of the PGA Tour officially commenced with The Sentry in Hawaii, marking the start of a new competitive year in professional golf. Formerly known as the Tournament of Champions, The Sentry took place at the Plantation Course from January 2-5. This year’s event concluded with Hideki Matsuyama claiming victory.
One of the critical narratives leading into the 2025 season is the return of star golfer Scottie Scheffler. Scheffler, who just wrapped up an incredible 2024 season with seven victories—including The Masters, The Players Championship, and the Tour Championship—missed the beginning of the new season due to a hand injury. The 2024 season also saw him earn gold at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, making it a landmark year for the player.
The PGA Tour season will span through the FedEx Cup playoffs, finishing with the Tour Championship in August. A notable change for this season is the renaming of the Wells Fargo Championship to the Truist Championship for this year, which will be held at the Philadelphia Cricket Club, just ahead of the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow.
