💡 Main takeaway:
The PGA Tour has canceled its opening event of the 2026 season in Hawaii after failing to find an alternative venue to host The Sentry.
The tournament, which was scheduled to be played Jan. 8-11, had to be moved from Plantation Stadium in Kapalua on Maui due to drought conditions.
However, the PGA Tour said that “after evaluating alternative venues in Hawaii and beyond” it was unable to play the tournament due to “logistical challenges – including shipping deadlines, tournament infrastructure and vendor support.”
The first event next year will be the Sony Open from January 15-18 at Waialae Country Club in Honolulu, Hawaii.
The Sentry, which moved from California to Maui in 1999, was the PGA Tour season opener between 1986 and 2013 before returning to that slot in 2024, when the Tour switched back to a calendar-year schedule.
The field at the event would have included the top 50 players from the previous year’s FedExCup standings, as well as the winners of PGA Tour events from the previous year.
