The PGA Tour has cancelled its 2026 season-opening occasion in Hawaii after failing to search out an alternate venue to host The Sentry.
The event, which was to be performed from 8-11 January, needed to be moved from the Plantation Course at Kapalua on the Island of Maui due to drought circumstances.
Nevertheless, the PGA Tour stated that, “having assessed alternate venues in Hawaii and past” it couldn’t play the event due to “logistical challenges – together with transport deadlines, event infrastructure and vendor help”.
The primary occasion of subsequent yr will now be the Sony Open from 15-18 January on the Waialae Nation Membership in Honolulu, Hawaii.
The Sentry, which relocated from California to Maui in 1999, was the PGA Tour’s season opener between 1986 and 2013 earlier than returning to that slot in 2024, when the Tour switched again to a calendar-year schedule.
The sphere on the occasion would have featured the highest 50 gamers from the earlier yr’s FedExCup standings, in addition to winners of PGA Tour occasions from the earlier yr.
