The final round, which is set to challenge the PGA Tour’s low-scoring record, is all teed up to be a shootout between Hideki Matsuyama and Collin Morikawa after they traded blows on a windless, record-breaking third day. Matsuyama enters the final round a shot ahead of Morikawa at 27 under after setting a new 54-hole scoring record at the Sentry. Matsuyama's 27-under also ties the lowest 54-hole score on the PGA Tour since 1983. Both players carded 62s in the third round.
In third place is Thomas Detry, on 22 under, and the bookies are offering 40-1 on him winning.
The Sentry is the first of this season’s eight Signature Event status tournaments, and is played for an elevated $20 million prize fund, with the winner earning $3.6m. Entry is restricted to those who won on the PGA Tour during the previous season or who came in the top 50 in last season’s FedExCup standings.
This event used to be known as the Tournament of Champions, and restricted only to PGA Tour tournament winners in the past 12 months, but, with the opening up of the field to the top 50 in the FedExCup, it was renamed last year.
Since 1999, this tournament has been held at the Plantation Course at the Kapalua Resort on the island of Maui in Hawaii. With only three par 3s, the 7,596-yard layout has a par of 73 and, unless the wind blows, scoring tends to be low on this Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw design. The past three winning scores have been 29, 27 and 34 under par. The defending champion is Chris Kirk.
Scottie Scheffler misses the tournament after cutting his hand on a glass on Christmas Day. Rory McIlroy is again skipping the event – he’s only played The Sentry once, in 2019 when he came fourth – and will make his seasonal debut on the DP World Tour. His fellow Europeans Tommy Fleetwood and Shane Lowry are also not taking up their places in The Sentry.
Read on for our guide on how to watch The Sentry online, on TV, and from anywhere.
Are there any free live streams for The Sentry?
There are no free live streams for The Sentry 2025. The closest you're going to get is through Fancode in India, a streaming platform where a monthly subscription costs just ₹199 – that's just over $2 and just under £2.
The service is geo-restricted so will only work in India. If you're away from India right now, you can still access your Fancode subscription by using a VPN – more on that below.
Watch The Sentry from anywhere
If you are outside your usual country, you can still access the streaming services you subscribe to, even when you're away from home, thanks to a handy piece of software known as a VPN.
A Virtual Private Network – to give it the full name – can make your devices appear to be in any location, bypassing geo-restrictions so you can watch the things you've signed up for. It's perfect for watching golf from anywhere, and it comes with a host of internet security benefits, too.
Our expert colleagues over at TechRadar have tested loads of VPNs and they reckon NordVPN is the best VPN provider out there right now.
