Justin Thomas will be determined to win the Sentry Tournament of Champions for the second time in his successful career.
The American star won once on the PGA Tour in 2022 as he defeated Will Zalatoris in a playoff, overcoming a PGA Championship record seven-shot deficit entering the day.
It marked his second career major championship title having also won the PGA Championship in 2017 and the 2022 triumph was his 15th career PGA Tour victory.

The Kentucky-born golfer will be making his eighth trip to Sentry Tournament of Champions where he holds five top-10 finishes having won the tournament in 2017 and 2020.
With a third-round 61 in 2022, Thomas, who is nicknamed JT, now shares the record for the best 18-hole score at The Plantation Course at Kapalua.
The 29-year-old will be hoping to emulate Gene Littler, Arnold Palmer, Tom Watson and Stuart Appleby who have all won the Sentry Tournament of Champions title three times.
Thomas, who is currently placed eighth on the Official World Golf Rankings, has won in seven consecutive seasons on the PGA Tour.
JT was asked about the secret to his success at the 2022 PGA Championship where he worked well with his caddie Jim Mackay.
"It kind of goes back to what I said on Thursday of just not trying to play golf swing, not trying to play the field, not trying to play to a certain person really," Thomas
"Just trying to execute each shot as well as I could, and then wherever it ended up, just give my club to Bones (Mackay) and let's move on and try to do the best we can on the next one.
"He did an unbelievable job of keeping me in the moment and keeping me patient today, and yeah, it just is an unbelievable team win for all of us.
Jack Nicklaus is the most decorated golfer in the history of the Sentry Tournament of Champions with four titles since the tournament's formation in 1953.
