Sleeper picks for 2024 The Sentry, including Hideki Matsuyama at 50/1

Another year, another week at the Plantation Course. The PGA Tour is back in Maui to kick off 2024 at The Sentry, the year’s first signature event. Although the 59-man field is loaded with big names, there are a few sleepers to keep an eye on.

Defending champion Jon Rahm isn’t in the field to vie for back-to-back titles thanks to his recent move to LIV Golf. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, Viktor Hovland, Jordan Spieth, Rickie Fowler, Xander Schauffele and Max Homa are just some of the superstars teeing it up Thursday. Rory McIlroy and Justin Thomas, however, aren’t in the field.

Let’s take a look at a few sleeper picks for The Sentry.
