The PGA TOUR has confirmed plans to end its tournament presence in Maui and has begun to explore options to transition the Sony Open in Hawaii into a PGA TOUR Champions event.<\/p>\n
The Sentry, which was held annually at The Plantation Course at Kapalua from 1999-2025, was not contested this year. It marked the season-opening event from 1999-2013 and again from 2024-25. Hideki Matsuyama won the 2025 edition of the Maui event, breaking the TOUR\u2019s scoring record relative to par with a score of 35 under.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are grateful to The Plantation Course at Kapalua, Kapalua Resort, Maui County and the state of Hawaii for their longtime support of our season-opening PGA TOUR event, as well as the fans, partners and volunteers across Maui who have supported the event throughout the years,\u201d the TOUR said in a statement.<\/p>\n
While the TOUR will share more details regarding its 2027 schedule at a later date, conversations are ongoing about the Sony Open in Hawaii moving to the PGA TOUR Champions schedule in conjunction with the existing Mitsubishi Electric Championship at Hualalai to create a two-tournament presence in the Aloha State. The TOUR has been in communication with Sentry Insurance and Sony throughout its decision-making process.<\/p>\n
Held at Waialae Country Club in Honolulu since 1971, the Sony Open served as the season-opening PGA TOUR event in 2026 and was won by Chris Gotterup, the first of his two wins to date this season.<\/p>\n
