Brandt Snedeker Loves Kapalua
1/2:Brandt Snedeker endured a frustrating first half of 2018, but he more than made up for it with an impressive victory at the Wyndham Championship back in August. That victory earned him his spot in the Sentry Tournament of Champions, an event that Snedeker has thrived at in the past. In his last four trips to Kapalua, Snedeker has recorded four top-15 finishes, and he has twice finished inside the top-five. The American has failed to finish better than T30 in his last three starts on the PGA Tour.Source: PGA Tour
Aaron Wise To Start Year At The Sentry
1/2:Aaron Wise will start his year at the Sentry Tournament of Champions. The American earned his spot in the field after taking the Byron Nelson title last year. Wise lost form after that, but he ended his 2018 in style, which suggests that he could be one to watch out for this week. In his previous eight starts on the PGA Tour, Wise has finished in the top-20 on six occasions. Wise will be making his debut at the Sentry Tournament of Champions this week.Source: PGA Tour
Charles Howell III Enters The Sentry Off The Back Of A Victory
1/2:It was his very last start of the year which saw Charles Howell III secure his spot at the Sentry Tournament of Champions. Howell III captured the RSM in November and will arrive at Kapalua full of confidence. Despite that win, Howell III has struggled in recent times, only recording two top-10 finishes in his last 14 starts on the PGA Tour. The American is renowned for his consistency, and that win two months ago might well be the moment that helps him find that usual steady form.Source: PGA Tour
Gary Woodland Full Of Confidence Heading To Kapalua
1/2:For the third time, Gary Woodland will kick off his year at the Sentry Tournament of Champions. Woodland captured the Phoenix Open in 2018 to secure his place in this week’s field, and the American has shown some strong form over the past few months on the PGA Tour. Woodland has finished no worse than T12 in his last seven events on the PGA Tour, and will undoubtedly be a player to watch closely this week.Source: PGA Tour
Francesco Molinari Making Debut At Kapalua
1/2:It has been a remarkable 12 months for Francesco Molinari, and the Italian will enter 2019 with more confidence than he has ever had to begin a new year. This year will mark Molinari’s debut at the Sentry Tournament of Champions. Molinari had never won a PGA Tour event until last year but will come into this event as one of the favorites after hitting top form over the past six months. In his previous nine events on the PGA Tour, Molinari has recorded five top-10 finishes.Source: PGA Tour
Xander Schauffele To Make Second Start At The Sentry
1/2:After a brilliant performance at the HSBC-Champions, Xander Schauffele earned his spot in the field for this week’s Sentry Tournament of Champions. It will be the American’s second appearance in Kapalua after he made his debut last year. The Californian struggled on his first start in Kapalua in 2018, finishing a disappointing T22. However, Schauffele will be in confident mood after some solid performances at the back end of 2018, which included a T8 finish at the Hero World Challenge.Source: PGA Tour
Patrick Reed Looking For Hot Start To Year At The Sentry
1/2:Patrick Reed will begin his year at the Sentry Tournament of Champions for the fifth time in the last six years. The American boasts an outstanding record at Kapalua, which includes a win here back in 2015. Since then, Reed finished runner-up in 2016 and claimed a T6 finish the following year. Reed has not won since getting his hands on the green jacket back in April, and the American has just one top-10 finish in his last nine starts on the PGA Tour.Source: PGA Tour
Bubba Watson Starts Yet Another Year At Kapalua
1/2:For the sixth time in the last eight years, Bubba Watson will be teeing it up at the Sentry Tournament of Champions. Watson won three times in 2018, in what was a superb year for the 40-year-old. Watson’s good form at Kapalua suggests that he is likely to go well here on his opening start of the year too. In his last five visits to Kapalua, Watson has finished in the top-10 three times. Although, on his previous two visits Watson has struggled mightily on the greens, dropping a combined 12 strokes to the field with the flat-stick.Source: PGA Tour
Jason Day Kicking Off Year In Kapalua
1/2:Jason Day starts his year at the Sentry Tournament of Champions, an event that has been kind to the Australian in the past. In three visits to Kapalua, Day has finished no worse than T12 at the event, and his best result came back in 2015 where the Australian finished T3. Day won twice last year on the PGA Tour and will be keen to repeat his putting performance of 2018, which saw the Australian finishing second for strokes gained putting.Source: PGA Tour
Brooks Koepka Looking To Continue Form At The Sentry
1/2:Brooks Koepka begins 2019 on top of the world after a year in which the American won two major championships. This week will be Koepka’s third time to play in Kapalua, in an event which has produced mixed results for the big hitter. In 2016, Koepka finished T3 at the tournament, but last year it was a different story, and the American finished dead last. The 28-year-old dropped almost 10 strokes to the field that week on the greens and will be hoping for better fortune with the flat-stick this week.Source: PGA Tour
Jon Rahm Begins Year In Kapalua
1/2:Jon Rahm will kick off his year at this week’s Sentry Tournament of Champions. Rahm won once on the PGA Tour in 2018, and he arrives at a course this week where he performed well on debut. In 2018, Rahm finished runner-up in Kapalua and will be looking to go one better this week as he enters the event in good form. Last month, the Spaniard won the Hero World Challenge in impressive style to set him up nicely for the year’s opening event.Source: PGA Tour
Kevin Tway Can Bomb Away At Kapalua
1/1:Kevin Tway picked up the first win of his PGA Tour career at the Safeway Open in October. The victory earned him a spot in this week's Sentry Tournament of Champions. It will be the 30-year-old's first appearance at Kapalua. Tway is a long hitter that ranked 13th on the PGA Tour in driving distance last season. His length should allow him to bomb away at the generously wide fairways of the Plantation Course. Tway might not have the name recognition of some other players in the field, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him score well on this course where length is of the utmost importance. He is an intriguing GPP option at his dirt-cheap DFS price. Source: PGA Tour
Keegan Bradley Brings Elite Iron Play To Kapalua
1/1:It was a long road back to the winner's circle for Keegan Bradley. After piling up three victories on the PGA Tour between 2011 and 2012, Bradley endured a six-year drought before taking down the BMW Championship last season. The victory qualified him for this week's Sentry Tournament of Champions. Bradley will rely on his elite iron play at Kapalua. He ranked second on the PGA Tour in strokes gained: approach in 2018, but struggles with a balky putter and annually ranks near the bottom of all putting statistical categories. His world-class ball striking makes Bradley a dangerous discount GPP option that we can feel comfortable rostering in this week's no-cut event. Source: PGA Tour
Ian Poulter Looks To Continue Career Renaissance
1/1:Death, taxes, and Ian Poulter playing well in a Ryder Cup year. Those are some of the few certainties in life. Poulter did it again in 2018, logging the first PGA Tour stroke-play win of his career at the Houston Open. The victory propelled the Englishman to a tremendous season and a spot on the European Ryder Cup team. Poulter will try to continue his career renaissance in 2019 and gets his season underway at this week's Sentry Tournament of Champions. It will be a challenge for him to compete at a Kapalua layout that demands low scoring. Poulter ranked just 84th in birdie or better percentage on the PGA Tour in 2018. He's nothing more than a DFS tournament flyer this week. Source: PGA Tour
Webb Simpson Has Strong History At Kapalua
1/1:Webb Simpson is set to tee it up in this week's Sentry Tournament of Champions. Simpson qualified for the event via his dominant win in The Players Championship last season. The 33-year-old turned in the best season of his career in 2018 by winning The Players and logging top-25 finishes in all four major championships on the strength of his sharp ball striking and elite short game. This will be his first trip to Kapalua since 2014. Simpson has fared well at the Plantation Course, posting two third-place finishes in just three career appearances. He's an elite GPP sleeper play this week. Source: PGA Tour
