It’s that time of year for golf when we kick off the 2024 PGA tour with a bang at the sentury the inaugural event of a spectacular season featuring 38 official PGA Tour tournament champions with the defending champion John ROM now on the live tour anticipation ran high and the

Hunger for that coveted first victory of the year was palpable among the competitors today on googi golf we will do a quick recap of the 2024 Century Tournament of Champions held on the plantation course in Capal Maui Hawaii we will cover the standings the winners

And the runners up and of course the key moments throughout the 4-day event so without further Ado let’s swing right in first things first the Sentry is one of the most coveted tour events of the entire year as its roster is composed only of individuals who either won in

The prior Year’s season or qualified for the Tour Championship this of course makes the roster that much more competitive and boy was it good this year in addition with a total purse of 20 million ion dollar Not only was the title of the first signature of event of

2024 on the line but also the massive payout the champion received which ultimately wound up to be $3.6 million which brings us to the most important question of today who would take home both the title and the payout the answer none other than Chris Kirk the new 2024

Champion for the century Kirk bested Netflix full swing star sah igala by a margin of one on Sunday January 7th the finals Kirk birdied the 15th and 17th holes to finish the final round eight under par during the last day going into the final round Kirk LED with six

Birdies in his first 11 holes before fending off a late Surge from tala on the back nine with no bogeys and a few more birdies Kirk eventually took the lead over tala who posted a low 63 with 10 birdies Kirk closed the game with a stunning shot to set up a birdie that

Would finish with 29 under 263 after igala tied for the lead at the 7 hole it’s safe to say Kirk took a full swing at tala and knocked him out of the park maybe Netflix should consider him for his second season this would Mark Kirk’s sixth win following the 2023 Honda

Classic which would be his first win since 2020 effectively allowing him to become eligible to play all the Signature Events this season talk about a great start to the year prior to this win Kirk had not won on the PGA tour for 8 years having taken a leave of absence

In 2019 to address men mental health and addiction issues in an interview after his Century 2024 where Kirk said it’s 100% the reason why I’m able to do what I do I’ve said that a lot but my PGA Tour career would have been over a while

Ago had I not gotten sober I’m very proud very very proud of that shot that I was able to make the right call talk about a tough shot to commit to said Kirk who is currently ranked 52 in the world it was a highlight moment for sure

And the shot at cell gave us a spectacular finish while Kirk’s performance definitely floored all the viewers of the century especially with the tight finale many others impressed the audience as well most notably sahid tala and he put on an obviously strong fight Landing second and taking home

2.16 million which is a large sum of money on its own tala opened the tournament with a strong round he immediately took the lead after shooting nine under 64 on the first day in the final round he sank one Bogey and 10 birdies including six backto back from

Holes 10 to 15 while T Gala played solidly on Sunday rigging up 10 birdies and eight pars for a 63 he unfortunately had to settle for second just a bogey off despite a close call tala took his placing positively especially after being hurt during the off season last

Year saying this year I got a lot of work in the gym and a lot of work in with my coach and felt so ready for this event I was so pumped for this event and obviously with the Signature Events and all that big deal I knew it was

Important to get off to a fast start yeah finishing second here is going to be a really nice boost for the rest of the West Coast Swing another remarkable player for this year’s century is Jordan Speed who plays third overall on tour no we’re not just going down the list of

Winners spe had a lot of tense and stressful moments throughout the course but still remained a strong Contender remaining as one of the few bogey free players until the second to last day going into the finals speed had gone 51 Holes without dropping a shot while falling short in the finals speed shot

30 birdies secured the third place and is looking forward to the rest of 2024 with him saying there’s nothing but optimism about what the season can bring at this point third place isn’t so bad especially when you get to take home 1.36 million while you’re at it that’s

The beauty of golf folks on the other side of the spectrum many people anticipated ludvig oberg’s appearance in this year’s Century especially because he was one of the strongest competitors for Rookie of the Year in 2023 sadly oberg’s performance left many disappointed placing at TI 47 far from

Around the top 10 where his placings usually lie the 24-year-old is only young though and is a green horn in the professional golfing scene so many still anticipate his coming participation in other events tons of other players made amazing shots and had a solid run throughout the century such as bang

Hanan who placed fourth and the five players who tied for fifth one of which was colum marawa col morawa had an emotional tea start remembering what Maui went through last August wherein over a 100 people died due to the wildfires more kawa’s Grandparents were from lahina where they used to run a

Restaurant ma we small Hawaii’s very very small people know everyone just got emotional being able to hit that first t-shot it was an honor just to be able to do that and yeah it’s a great way to kick off the New York morawa pledged to donate $2,000 for every birdie and

$44,000 for every Eagle he made at the century 20124 from tears we move on to Applause which camoo vas received after returning to the century after a decade fgas underwent tough personal times in the past years making him unable to commit to professional golfing the golfing Community welcomed the former

World number seven with open arms and finally South Korea’s sunj M managed to set a new PGA to a record by hitting the most birdies in a 72 hole tournament on route to a career third top 10 in four outings at the century on Sunday this play helped him secure fifth overall

Which just goes to show the level of play it takes to win at this game IM managed to register an unprecedented 34 birdies in the span of 4 days beating out the previous record of 32 birdies shared by former champion John ROM in the century 2023 Paul GA in the 2001 BC

Open and Mark calvia in the 2001 Waste Management Phoenix Open what an absolutely absurd stat and record and there you have it folks this year’s Century 2024 saw some amazing plays throughout new record set by new faces and a tight finale thanks to Stellar plays by sahit tala and the 2024

Champion Chris Kirk with the first PGA Le Tour event over people are anticipating future events to be of the same caliber as this year’s Century if we continue to get the same quality of events throughout the year then no doubt 2024 will be an amazing year for golf if
