The 2026 PGA Tour season begins this week with the Sony Open in Hawaii.
Although the field is not comprised of the top players in golf it does have plenty of quality. Indeed, Russell Henley, Ben Griffin, Collin Morikawa, Hideki Matsuyama, JJ Spaun, Keegan Bradley, Maverick McNealy, Si Woo Kim, Jordan Spieth, and Adam Scott bring branding and presence.
The PGA used to open the season in Hawaii with The Sentry, but it was canceled due to water conservation needs and poor course conditions. Instead, the Waialae Country Club in Honolulu will serve as the host venue.
Based on the quality of the field and the desperation for golf betting by gamblers, the handle for the Sony Open in Hawaii will be strong. At the beginning of the week, wagering traffic was heavy as fans and gamblers eagerly awaited the opening event of the 2026 PGA Tour campaign.
