Volunteer registration is now open for The Sentry, the PGA Tour’s opening event every year on Maui.
According to the PGA, volunteering offers opportunities to help organize, coordinate and manage The Sentry in various capacities when the tournament returns to the Plantation Course at Kapalua on Jan. 8-11.
Additionally, officials with the PGA say every hour volunteered helps generate impact dollars that support local nonprofits. Through the collective efforts of volunteers, sponsors, resort and community partners and fans, The Sentry has reportedly raised more than $9.7 million for charity since 1999.
For the 2026 event, volunteers who work three or more shifts will receive two golf shirts, a hat or visor, a commemorative tournament pin and access to the volunteers headquarters with food and beverages.
Also, a volunteer appreciation party will feature entertainment, food, drinks and prizes.
In addition to volunteer credentials allowing someone free admission when not on a volunteer shift, The Sentry will provide one additional grounds ticket for friends or family to enjoy the tournament.
There are several committees for prospective volunteers to join such as gallery management, both walking scorer and mobile spotter, on-course and on-road transportation, hospitality, admissions, and supply and product distribution.
