2020 Season

Kent qualified for match play in three of the four majors, finishing 15^th in the Tournament of Champions, fifth in the Players Championship and 12^th in the World Championship. The only major cut he missed was in the U.S. Open, a cut he had made in each of his previous eight times bowling the event. Three top 10s on the season helped Kent rank 12^th in PBA Tour points while landing 17^th in money for the second consecutive year.

2021 Outlook

Opening the season with a major championship gives Kent an edge over a lot of players. Although Kent has yet to win a major, he almost always contends. The west region will be tough to escape but most of the other bowlers in that region will be looking at Kent’s name as one of the reasons it’ll be so difficult. Kent will look to improve on his fifth-place finish in last year’s Players Championship, then carry the strong start through whatever’s next.
