2021 Sentry Tournament of Champions
US PGA Tour
Plantation Course
Kapalua, Hawaii
6-10 January 2021
Collin Morikawa will be looking to clinch the 2021 Sentry Tournament of Champions title at the Plantation Course in Kapalua, Hawaii.
The young American golfer began his PGA Tour career with 22 consecutive made cuts, a feat surpassed only by Tiger Woods' 25-cut streak.
Morikawa has since clinched three PGA Tour wins – including a major championship, the PGA Championship last year.
The 23-year-old has also lifted the Barracuda Championship and Workday Charity Open thus far in his young career.

Morikawa beat current Tournament of Champions holder Justin Thomas in a playoff to win his second PGA Tour title at the Workday Charity Open in July 2020.
The Los Angeles-born player rallied from a three-shot deficit with three holes remaining.
The youngster then made a 25-foot birdie putt on the first playoff hole to stay alive, before winning with a par on the third playoff hole.
Morikawa went on to win the 2020 PGA Championship to win a major in only his second major championship start.
His final round of 64 tied the lowest final-round score shot by a PGA champion, matching Steve Elkington's tally at the 1995 PGA Championship.

With his win, Morikawa became the third-youngest golfer to win the PGA Championship when he won the event at the age of 23.
Morikawa was also the fourth golfer to win the PGA Championship before turning 24-years-old.
The Las Vegas-based golfer reflected on 2020 which proved to be his breakthrough year as a professional player: “For me, it comes down a lot to my head, the mental side, and after the PGA I was obviously very tired and very burnt out, but I just didn’t set new goals.
“I felt like I was almost complacent. I felt good after the major win. And I think a lot of people are, and that doesn’t mean I was OK with it, that I was satisfied with one (major)," he concluded.
Last five Tournament of Champions winners:
2016 - Jordan Spieth - USA
2017 - Justin Thomas - USA
2018 - Dustin Johnson - USA
2019 - Xander Schauffele - USA
2020 - Justin Thomas - USA
