The 2025 PGA Tour season kicked off last week with The Sentry at the Kapalua Plantation Course in Maui, Hawaii. The tour lands in the Hawaiian Islands this week for the Sony Open at Waialae Country Club on Oahu. A total of 144 golfers are slated to collect a purse of $8.7 million — $1,566,000 going to the winner. Unlike last week, the Sony Open comes with a 36-hole cut.
Fresh off a record at The Sentry, Hideki Matsuyama is looking for his second career win at Waialae (2022), the site of Grayson Murray’s second of two career PGA Tour victories. Murray won the Sony Open at Waialae last year before his death in May. Murray beat Byeong Hun An and Keegan Bradley in a three-way playoff. Si Woo Kim took the title in 2023.
