Sentry Insurance to Sponsor PGA Tour Event at Torrey Pines The PGA Tour has announced that Wisconsin-based Sentry Insurance will take over as the title sponsor for the event at Torrey Pines, marking a significant shift in the tournament’s history. The sponsorship transition comes after eight years of partnership with Kapalua, where Sentry had been the primary sponsor since 2018. The new arrangement will see the tournament, previously held at Kapalua, relocate to Torrey Pines, a municipal course in San Diego, starting in 2027. The event will be scheduled for January 27-30, with the final round set for Saturday to avoid a potential conflict with the NFL’s conference championship games. The move to Torrey Pines follows the cancellation of the Kapalua tournament in 2026 due to a water dispute on Maui, which left the Plantation course at Kapalua unready for the event. This issue prompted the PGA Tour to discontinue the Hawaii swing, which included both Kapalua and the Sony Open on Oahu. The decision to relocate the Sentry event to Torrey Pines was also influenced by the decision of Farmers Insurance, the previous title sponsor, to not renew its partnership. The San Diego course, which has been part of the PGA Tour schedule since 1968, will host the Sentry event for the first time, marking its 60th appearance at the venue. The tournament’s relocation to Torrey Pines is part of the PGA Tour’s broader schedule overhaul, which is set to take effect as early as 2028. The Sentry event will be the second tournament of the 2027 season, following The American Express, which will be held two hours away in La Quinta, California.#pga_tour #sentry_insurance #torrey_pines #century_club_of_san_diego #farmers_insurance
