Overview
- After assessing alternate venues, the Tour said shipping deadlines, infrastructure and vendor support made relocation impossible, marking its first tournament cancellation since 2020.
- The Sony Open at Waialae will now open the 2026 season on January 15–18, the latest PGA Tour start since the circuit launched in 1969.
- Players who qualified for The Sentry only through 2025 victories, and not via the FedExCup top 50, will receive starts at the RBC Heritage in April.
- The cancellation reduces 2026 signature events to eight, with the first now slated for the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro‑Am in February.
- Kapalua plans a soft re‑opening of the Plantation Course on November 10 with two greens still under restoration, while lawsuits and state notices alleging water‑system violations with potential fines up to $11 million leave its future as a host uncertain.
