The PGA Tour has announced that it will not host events in Hawaii in 2027, marking the first absence in 56 years. This decision follows the cancellation of the Sentry event in January 2023 due to drought conditions affecting the Plantation course at Kapalua, Maui. The course faced significant challenges as a result of a dispute over a century-old water delivery system, leading to the cancellation of the tournament. The Sony Open, which has been held continuously since 1971 at Waialae Country Club in Honolulu, is also affected as it approaches the end of its sponsorship. The PGA Tour expressed gratitude to the local community for their support over the years. The Sentry event, which has been a favorite among players for its scenic views, had been subsidized by the PGA Tour to increase its purse to $20 million. Hideki Matsuyama holds the record for the last victory at Kapalua, finishing with a score of 35 under par. The future of the Sentry sponsorship may shift to Torrey Pines in San Diego, as discussions about new locations are underway.
