As has become customary, four of the top five players in the world will sit out next week's Tournament of Champions.

Historically the PGA Tour's season-opener, though now relegated from that position due to the new campaign having started immediately after the conclusion of the Fed-Ex Cup, the tournament is open to all golfers who won an event in the preceding year.

Top players like Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Henrik Stenson and Justin Rose are all eligible to play, but have opted to skip the event.

Woods last competed at Kapalua in 2005, while Mickelson last entered way back in 2001.

The field does still feature some big draws, including Masters champion Adam Scott and defending champion Dustin Johnson.
