Who is the in field of Sentry Tournament 2025?
The Sentry Tournament of Champions, the first event of 2025, has released its field of 60 players, but there’s a notable absence – world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler. Unfortunately, Scheffler had to withdraw from the tournament due to a hand injury he sustained on Christmas Day while preparing dinner. He underwent surgery to remove glass shards and is expected to be out for three to four weeks. In his absence, Xander Schauffele becomes the headliner, joined by other top golfers like Hideki Matsuyama and Max Homa, who set the PGA Tour record for longest drive (477 yards) at last year’s event.
