KAPALUA, Hawaii – In two previous trips to the Sentry Tournament of Champions Gary Woodland has finished tied for 13th (2014) and 24th (2012), but in his defense there are plenty of distractions in Maui.
Woodland was always surrounded by family and friends and the views of Honolua Bay have mesmerized the world’s best players for decades, but this year is different.
“I wanted to come out and be aggressive," Woodland said. "Obviously it's nice to be here, but I have a little different mindset this week, playing a little more aggressive, trying to contend, and trying to win instead of just enjoying the views out here, which I've done in the past,” he added.
