The 2025 PGA Tour starts in Hawaii. In Kapalua, in the county of Maui, from January 2 to 5 the big names of the green will compete in The Sentry. Contending for the title and a prize pool of 20 million dollars (of which 3,600,000 will go to the winner) will be 60 players, including six of the best ten in the world. However, the most anticipated man will be missing from the roll call: Scottie Scheffler. The American, number 1 in the world, was forced to withdraw due to a small operation on his hand caused by a domestic accident.
From Schauffele to Morikawa, big Pga Tour in Hawaii
Among the protagonists, here are the Americans Xander Schauffele (second in the world ranking and winner in this event in 2019), Collin Morikawa (fourth) and Wyndham Clark (seventh), the Swede Ludvig Aberg (fifth), the Japanese Hideki Matsuyama (sixth) and the Norwegian Viktor Hovland (eighth), whose presence is at high risk due to a fracture to the big toe of his right foot. Defending the title won in January 2024 will be the American Chris Kirk. The winners of at least one tournament in 2024 and many of the Top 50 of last year’s FedEx Cup will participate in the first event of the “Opening Drive”. Among the past winners, with Kirk and Schauffele, also Justin Thomas (2017 and 2020).
The Rules of Golf are a set of rules and standard procedures by which the sport of golf should be played. They are jointly written and administered by the Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews, the governing body of golf throughout the world, except in the United States and Mexico, which are governed by the United States Golf Association. An expert committee, made up of members of the R&A and the USGA, oversees and refines the Rules every four years. The latest revision was effective January 1, 2016. Changes to the Rules of Golf generally fall into two main categories: those that improve understanding of the Rules and those that reduce penalties in certain cases to ensure balance. The rulebook, entitled “The Rules of Golf,” is published on a regular basis and also includes rules governing amateur status. In Italy, the Federgolf is responsible for supervising competitions by enforcing the rules issued by the R & A, checking that these rules are observed by the Clubs, Associations and their members and managing the resulting sporting justice, protecting their interests abroad.
