The 2024 PGA Tour Regular Season kicks off at The Sentry from Jan. 4-7 at The Plantation Course at Kapalua — the event is partnering with Mauna Loa to provide kamaaina tickets at reduced prices.

The Sentry and Mauna Loa are offering ground admission rates for kamaaina, which are available to local Hawaii residents with a valid photo ID, as the Tour’s best players return to Maui and look to get off to a strong start in the race for the FedExCup.

“We are thrilled to welcome back our long-standing partner, Mauna Loa,” executive director Max Novena said in a news release. “Through our collaboration with this iconic Hawaii brand, we take pride in providing our local community with an exceptional opportunity to experience The Sentry and enjoy all the event has to offer.”

The kamaaina Ticket presented by Mauna Loa, with limited availability per day, begins Thursday through Sunday at the following day-specific prices (plus applicable taxes and fees):

• Thursday, Jan. 4, and Friday, Jan. 5: $45 each day.

• Saturday, Jan. 6, and Sunday, Jan. 7: $55 each day.

“We are once again honored to partner with The Sentry as the PGA Tour begins its season with one of the premier events of the year,” Ed Schultz, President & CEO of Hawaiian Host Group, parent company of Mauna Loa, said in the news release. “As a legacy Hawaii brand, Mauna Loa has been a partner of this event for several years and we are excited to help continue to grow this event locally through our sponsorship of the kamaaina ticket program. Our hearts continue to go out to all those impacted by the Maui fires, and hope kamaaina enjoy the opportunity to cheer on the PGA Tour’s best players as they return to Maui.”

The Sentry remains dedicated to supporting the community while being respectful and considerate of the unique needs following the devastating wildfires in West Maui in August.

The tournament is committed to ensure continued awareness, fundraising and economic impact for the Valley Isle.

“The Sentry and the PGA Tour’s steadfast commitment to Maui is deeply appreciated,” Keith Amemiya, Chair of the Governor’s Sports Task Force, said in the new release. “This event has positively impacted the Maui community for almost three decades, and its support means more now than ever before as the people of Maui continue the healing process and begin to recover and rebuild.”

As golf fans around the world make plans to see the game’s best players kick off the 2024 PGA Tour Regular Season at The Planation Course, The Sentry reminds visitors to bring care, patience, and compassion when patience, and compassion when they travel to Maui in January.

All kamaaina ticket holders can purchase daily parking passes (Thursday-Sunday) for $10 plus applicable taxes and fees. Kamaaina parking is located at Kapalua Resort where complimentary shuttle services will drop fans off at the main entry.

A total of 60 players have qualified for The Sentry, the first Signature Event of the 2024 TOUR season. A full list of qualifiers can be found at TheSentry.com.

Tuesday, The Sentry announced that Rickie Fowler, Viktor Hovland, Hideki Matsuyama and Scottie Scheffler have all committed to the tournament.

With three Tour titles in 2023, including the FedExCup, Holland secured his fourth consecutive trip to the Valley Isle and The Sentry. The Norwegian earned his first title at the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday. In August, he picked up his second title of the year at the BMW Championship following a career-low round (61) to defeat Scheffler and Matt Fitzpatrick. A week later, Hovland earned the 2023 FedExCup after winning the Tour Championship by five strokes to become the fourth player in history to win the BMW Championship and the FedExCup in the same season.

Scheffler began his two-win campaign in 2023 with a successful title defense at the WM Phoenix Open. A month later, the 27-year-old found the winner’s circle again at The Players Championship for his sixth career Tour title. Scheffler will make his third appearance at The Sentry 2024.

Fowler is set to make his fifth appearance at The Sentry after earning his sixth career Tour victory at the Rocket Mortgage Classic in July. The California native defeated Collin Morikawa and Adam Hadwin on the first playoff hole to secure the title, marking his first win since the 2019 WM Phoenix Open. Fowler has four top-six finishes in as many appearances at The Plantation Course.

Japan native Matsuyama is slated to make his seventh start at The Sentry after finishing in the top 50 of the 2022-23 FedExCup standings and qualifying for the 2023 BMW Championship. The 31-year-old captured two top-10 finishes during the 2023 calendar year including a T9 at the Farmers Insurance Open and a fifth-place finish at The Players Championship.
