The PGA Tour on Wednesday cancelled its 2026 season-opening tournament after failing to find an alternative venue for the event that was previously forced out of drought-hit Kapalua on the Hawaiian island of Maui.

After assessing alternative venues in Hawaii and beyond, the PGA Tour determined logistical challenges - including shipping deadlines, tournament infrastructure and vendor support - left it unable to stage The Sentry from January 8-11.

"While it is unfortunate to arrive at this decision, we are appreciative of the collaboration and dedication from Sentry Insurance, a tremendous partner of ours," said PGA Tour chief competitions officer Tyler Dennis.

As a result, the PGA Tour will open its 2026 season with the January 15-18 Sony Open in Hawaii.
