The PGA Tour plans to have no events in Hawaii for the first time in 63 years after this year’s season opener in Maui was cancelled because of drought conditions.<\/p>\n

The Sentry was scheduled for 8-11 January at the Plantation Course in Kapalua, but had to be scrapped<\/a> as the course failed to resolve a water rights dispute with another local company.<\/p>\n

An alternative venue could not be found so the season made a less ceremonious start on 15 January with the Sony Open<\/a> at Waialae Country Club in Honolulu.<\/p>\n

That event on Oahu has traditionally been paired with The Sentry, allowing golfers a two-week stay in the Pacific, but the PGA Tour is considering moving it to the Champions Tour alongside the Mitsubishi Electric Championship at Hualalai.<\/p>\n

Sentry Insurance’s event sponsorship deal runs to 2035 and PGA executives have reportedly visited Torrey Pines in San Diego with a view to transferring the title sponsorship as that event’s partnership with Farmers Insurance is expected to end this year.<\/p>\n

The Sentry was formerly known as the Tournament of Champions and served as the PGA Tour’s season opener from 1986-2013 and 2024-25.<\/p>\n

It typically boasted the top 50 players from the final FedEx Cup standings and all winners from the previous season.<\/p>\n

The PGA Tour has hosted at least one event in Hawaii each year since the Sony Open began in 1965.<\/p>\n

It said more details about the 2027 schedule will be shared at a later date.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The PGA Tour plans to have no events in Hawaii for the first time in 63 years after…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":218832,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[5904,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-542467","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-golf","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/542467","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=542467"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/542467\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/218832"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=542467"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=542467"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=542467"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
