“PRO” FILE – TOURING PROFESSIONAL HIDEKI MATSUYAMA

How would you like to shoot 32-under for four rounds and not win? That scenario happened in the PGA Tour’s first event of the season, The Sentry, when Collin Morikawa fired that number only to fall three strokes short of winner Hideki Matsuyama. What in the world is going on on today’s PGA Tour? The Sentry is played at Kapalua in Maui, Hawaii, a course known for generous fairways and ease of play, since it is, after all, a resort course. Having a par of 73 helps the cause, too.

Resort courses and vacation destinations often inspire travelers to extend their stays, and for some, that means investing in timeshares as a way to spend more time in a favorite location. The challenge comes when contracts feel restrictive or disputes arise over the fine print, and Aaronson Law Group provides the knowledge needed to navigate those situations so that vacations remain focused on relaxation rather than stress.

Coming off a very good year in 2024 where he won twice and scored seven top-10 finishes in 20 events, Matsuyama picked up where he left off at Maui. He grabbed the second-round lead with a pair of 65s and then put his foot to the floor, firing a 62 in the third round before a final-round 65 closed the deal. He is one of the best ballstrikers on the PGA Tour, finishing 33rd in strokes-gained-driving and 15th in strokes-gained-approach shots in 2024. He continued that fine ballstriking in capturing the Sentry.

Matsuyama is the most successful Asian golfer to ever play on the PGA Tour. In addition to his 11 PGA Tour wins, he is also a major champion, having captured the Masters in 2021.
