With his victory at the Procore Championship, Patton Kizzire became the most recent player to qualify for The Sentry, and 21 of the 24 Presidents Cup team members are currently qualified for the PGA TOUR’s annual trip to Maui. The Sentry returns to The Plantation Course at Kapalua Jan. 2-5, 2025.

Kizzire defeated David Lipsky to earn his third career TOUR victory at the Procore Championship, which snapped a winless drought of six years, eight months and one day (176 starts). The 38-year-old’s five-stroke victory marked the largest winning margin in tournament history, and largest on TOUR since Davis Riley won the 2024 Charles Schwab Challenge by five shots over Keegan Bradley and Scottie Scheffler. With the title, Kizzire qualified for his third trip to The Sentry, where he finished tied for 15th place in 2018 and tied for eighth place in 2019.

BMW Championship winner Keegan Bradley earned the clinching point for the US Team at the 2024 Presidents Cup, defeating Si Woo Kim in Singles, 1-up.
