Sentry Tournament of Champions field by the rankings

Not surprisingly, a strong field has turned up for the Sentry Tournament of Champions to start 2021 on the PGA Tour.

The calendar has turned and the PGA Tour is back. The wraparound 2020-21 season begins, as usual, in Hawaii at Kapalua’s Plantation Course. What is usually a winners-only event was expanded this year to include players who qualified for last fall’s Tour Championship. A field of 42 men is the largest in tournament history.

What’s not surprising this week is the strength of the field. World No. 1 Dustin Johnson will start his year at Kapalua and so will eight of the other top 10 players in the Golfweek/Sagarin Rankings. Only No. 4 Rory McIlroy is missing.

In the 12 tournaments played so far in the 2020-21 Tour season, the average ranking of the winner heading into the week in which he won a PGA Tour event has been 148 in the Golfweek/Sagarins and 169.75 in the OWGR.
