The 2025 The Sentry purse is set for $20 million, with the winner's share coming in at $3,600,000 -- the standard 18 percent payout according to the PGA Tour's prize money distribution chart.

The 2025 The Sentry field is headed by Xander Schauffele, Justin Thomas, Collin Morikawa, Ludvig Aberg and more of the world's best players.

The 61-player field competes in the first event of the year, with players earning their way into the field based on the PGA Tour's FedEx Cup standings from last year and those players who won in 2024.

A cut is not made after 36 holes to the top 65 players and ties. All players who finish four rounds of the tournament will earn money.

The prize-money payout is typically based on exactly 65 players making the cut and finishing the tournament. However, in PGA Tour events without 65 players, the payout formula is adjusted to account for the exact number of players in the field.

The event is played this year at the Plantation Course at Kapalua Resort in Maui, Hawaii.

This is the first PGA Tour event of the 2025 PGA Tour schedule.

What else is on the line: FedEx Cup points, OWGR points, exemptions

Beyond money, there are important points, perks and benefits on the line for the field -- in particular, the tournament winner.

The winner of The Sentry event earns 700 FedEx Cup points, as will be the case for Signature events. The winner gets 52.9 Official World Golf Ranking points, with the points available based on field strength.

The champion will enjoy the benefits of winning PGA Tour event, including a two-year exemption on the PGA Tour and an exemption into next year's Masters, PGA Championship and The Players.
