Sony Open
Welcome to week two of the PGA Tour season. Week one took forever and I'm sure it is tough for the Tour to have one free day to move the operation an island over. This week the Tour is still in Hawaii, contesting the Sony Open.
Tournament Overview
- Format: 4 rounds of stroke play.
- Purse: $5.6 million
- Winner's Share: $990K
- FedEx Cup Points: 500
Venue
The host venue this week is Waialae Country Club in Honolulu, Hawaii. This is a tight course with small greens. There will still likely be low scores as missing fairways is not terribly penal on this track.

- Yards: 7068
- Opened: 1927
- Architect: Seth Raynor
