Overview
- PGA Tour officials confirmed Monday that no events will be held in Hawaii in 2027, ending a 56-year run that began in 1971.
- The Sentry at Kapalua will not return after the 2026 event was canceled when drought and a water-delivery dispute left the Plantation Course turf failing.
- The Tour is in talks to transition the Sony Open at Waialae to the PGA Tour Champions, with plans to pair it with the Mitsubishi Electric Championship at Hualalai.
- Sentry Insurance remains a title sponsor through 2035, and multiple reports point to Torrey Pines in San Diego as a likely new host for the company’s event.
- Local estimates say dropping the two Hawaii tournaments will cost the islands tens of millions of dollars a year in economic activity and reduce charity funding tied to the events.
