The 2025 PGA Tour season kicked off last week with The Sentry at Kapalua Plantation Course in Maui, Hawaii. The tour stays on the Hawaiian Islands this week for the Sony Open at Waialae Country Club on Oahu. A total of 144 golfers are set to tee it up for a crack at the $8.7 million total purse — $1,566,000 going to the winner. Unlike last week, the Sony Open comes with a 36-hole cut.
Fresh off a record-setting performance at The Sentry, Hideki Matsuyama seeks 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 a year ago before his death in May. Murray outlasted Byeong Hun An and Keegan Bradley in a three-way playoff. Si Woo Kim took home the title in 2023.
