Jordan Spieth in action


This year's field is headlined by Jordan Spieth, Patton Kizzire and other players, who competed at the recent Tournament of Champions. 


American star Spieth, who is one of the favourites to win this year's competition, is a three-time major winner and the 2015 FedEx Cup champion.


Legendary South African golfer Ernie Els has won Sony Open title twice between 2003 and 2004. 


Since then American golfers have dominated the tournament - winning 10 of the last 13 titles. 


The other three titles were won by Fiji's Vijay Singh, South Korean golfer K.J Choi and Fabian Gomez of Argentina. 


The 2019 Sony Open purse is $6,200,000, while the winner's share is $1,116,000.
