Bryson Dechambeau will be hoping to continue his good form at the 2021 Sentry Tournament of Champions at the Plantation Course in Kapalua, Hawaii.

The American star did well during the calendar year (2020) as he secured two titles on the PGA Tour namely the Rocket Mortgage Classic and US Open.

Dechambeau originally qualified for his third appearance at the Tournament of Champions by virtue of his victory at the Rocket Mortgage Classic in June.

The 27-year-old's second win of the year, and first career major victory, came at the US Open in September.
In his two previous appearances in the Tournament of Champions, Dechambeau finished 26th in 2018 and 7th in 2019.

The man nicknamed The Scientist has won seven times on the PGA Tour including one major championship which is last year's US Open.

The Scientist also excelled at amateur level as he became the fifth player in history to win both the NCAA Division I championship and the US Amateur Championship in the same year.

By clinching the US Open, Dechambeau became the third player to have won those three championships (NCAA Division I, US Amateur and US Open) after Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods.

Since he became a professional golfer in 2016, Dechambeau has won the US Open, John Deere Classic, Memorial Tournament, The Northern Trust, Dell Technologies Championship, Shriners Hospitals for Children Open as well as Rocket Mortgage Classic.

Dechambeau, who is nicknamed The Scientist because he is renowned for his analytical approach to golf, will be looking to clinch his eighth PGA win by winning the 2021 Tournament of Champions.

The Modesto-born golfer's caddie, Tim Tucker, has backed Dechambeau for more success in 2021.

“He sacrifices everything for this game. All he’s done his whole life is trying to be the best. They tell you, "Oh, you can do anything,"' Tucker said.

"But what they don’t tell you is you have to sacrifice everything to be great. He’s never going to stop. He’s going to keep pushing it.”
