Overview
- The PGA Tour, which confirmed Monday, will not stage any events in Hawaii in 2027, ending a presence that stretched back 56 years.
- The change follows January’s cancellation of The Sentry at Kapalua after drought and water-use limits tied to a century-old delivery system left the Plantation Course turf dying.
- The Tour said it is discussing a PGA Tour Champions slot for the Sony Open, which is in the final year of its sponsorship and has explored pairing with the Mitsubishi Electric Championship on the Big Island.
- Sentry’s title deal runs through 2035, and multiple reports say Torrey Pines in San Diego is the leading candidate to host the sponsor’s event next.
- Tour leaders are reshaping the 2027 calendar toward bigger markets and away from costly stops, with two Kapalua staff told Monday they would not return and more schedule details still to come.
