Tournament and Course Notes for The Sentry

Golf is back!!
The Sentry has a field of only 60 golfers, so we don’t have a cut this week
Always love watching this event because it’s beautiful and warm in Hawaii, while it’s cold and snowy in my neck of the woods
We have a rare Par 73 on tap this week. It has been the easiest course on TOUR in each of the last 4 years
Due to the elevation changes and rolling fairways, you’ll see some monster drives this week
Many compare hitting approach shots here to Augusta (uneven lies) and there’s some correlation between winners
The fairways are wide, the greens are massive, and birdies are made in bunches
It often comes down to who can dominate the par fives and/or putt the best
Not a strong course fit, we’ve seen shorter and longer hitters win here

What to Look For

Strokes Gained: Approach
Birdie or Better %
Strokes Gained: Putting (Emphasis on Bermuda)
Strokes Gained: Off the Tee
