2021 Sentry Tournament of Champions
US PGA Tour
Plantation Course
Kapalua, Hawaii
6-10 January 2021
The
2021 Sentry Tournament of Champions will take place at the Plantation Course in Kapalua, Hawaii between 6 and 10 January.
This will be the 68th edition of the tournament and its field is restricted to golfers who won a tournament on the tour during the previous calendar year.
However, for the 2021 tournament, the PGA Tour announced that the field would be expanded to include the 30 players that qualified for the 2020 Tour Championship, in addition to tournament winners during the 2020 calendar year.
The change was made following the cancellation of ten tournaments due to the coronavirus pandemic in 2020.
