The 2026 PGA Tour season is almost upon us, with the first event on the circuit since November’s RSM Classic arriving with the Sony Open in Hawaii on January 15th.
Originally, the plan was to begin the season a week earlier with The Sentry, but that was shelved after the PGA Tour failed to find an alternative venue for the event amid drought concerns at the regular Plantation Course host in Kapalua.
