I think I had one or two putts that were just a little off.” He responded with a four-foot birdie putt at the 15th, a seven-foot birdie at the 16th and a two-putt birdie at the 18th for his share of the lead. “I made a lot of good swings out there,” Rahm said, but added he thought his best shot of the day was a 20-foot birdie putt at the 10th.

Jon Rahm birdied three of his last four holes for a nine-under 64 to share the lead at the Sentry Tournament of Champions.

He earned his spot at Kapalua for the first time, and he’ll be on Oahu next week for the Sony Open, a trip that will be some 5,000 miles. Hoge said he’ll leave Maui on Sunday night for Los Angeles to watch the Horned Frogs play for the national championship against Georgia, and then head back to Honolulu. Tom Kim had two eagles, holing out from 116 yards on the downhill sixth hole and drilling a fairway metal to 5 feet on the par-5 15th. Spaun, at Kapalua for the first time, had four straight birdies on the back and had only one complaint. Morikawa is among 10 players who failed to win last year and still got into the Tournament of Champions. He can only hope this start leads to a better finish in the Sentry Tournament of Champions.

Cameron Smith isn't here to defend his Sentry Tournament of Champions title, which he won last year with a PGA Tour record 34 under par.

As the “elevated” Sentry Tournament of Champions gets underway, questions remain about the viability of the revamped schedule.

“I mean, I haven’t really looked at the schedule too closely, and I don’t even know what the elevated events are, to be honest with you,” he says. “It became part of the fabric of his life.” Indeed, the pool at the Ritz-Carlton was the site of the public unveiling of Johnson’s romance with Paulina Gretzky, now his wife. They’re going to have opportunities for guys to play their way into Augusta, to play their way into the majors, to play their way into [the Ryder Cup], whatever it is. Scott (above) has suddenly gone full Milton Friedman, saying, “What’s now going to happen is the market is going to decide what the tour should look like. [ the 13 newly “elevated” events](https://www.golfdigest.com/story/pga-tour-elevated-events-schedule-for-2023-players-jay-monahan), the [payout is $15 million](https://www.golfdigest.com/story/here-is-the-prize-money-payout-for-each-golfer-at-the-2023-sentry-tournament-of-champions). But I think it’s going to be a great opportunity for a lot of other storylines, whether it’s guys winning for the first time and jump-starting their career. As the rich get richer, the larger question hanging over Kapalua is what the new super-schedule will do to the tour as a whole. I think that will be a massive benefit for the viewer, because I think now more than ever competition is making people evolve and making people grow and think outside the box.” “I think that it’s been interesting how much it’s changed golf, as in, everyone’s trying to innovate and make golf better all of a sudden. How will these second-class events survive when so much of the money and top talent and promotional energy are being funneled to just 13? It helped that the Tournament of Champions is no longer that: The field had always been filled exclusively by tournament champions from the preceding season, but as of this year, winless players who made it to the season-ending Tour Championship, like Scott, are invited. “I guess this time it is the start of something big.”
