Hideki Matsuyama Pursues Historic Hawaii Sweep at Sony Open

The PGA Tour's Sony Open begins with Matsuyama aiming to follow his record-breaking win at The Sentry with another victory in Honolulu.

Hideki Matsuyama, fresh off a record-setting 35-under-par victory at The Sentry, seeks to become the third player in PGA Tour history to win both Hawaii events in a single season.
The Sony Open, held at Waialae Country Club, features a full field of 144 players, including six PGA Tour winners and 25 rookies making their season debut.
The event marks the start of the chase for limited PGA Tour cards, with only the top 100 players eligible for next season, down from 125 in previous years.
The tournament pays tribute to Grayson Murray, the 2024 champion who passed away last year, with a celebration of life ceremony held earlier this week at Waialae.
Weather conditions are expected to be mostly favorable, though increasing winds over the weekend may challenge players on the course's exposed holes.
