PGA TOUR announces The Sentry will not be contested in 2026
https://www.pgatour.com/article/news/latest/2025/10/22/pga-tour-announces-the-sentry-will-not-be-contested-in-2026-kapalua-hawaiiAfter assessing a variety of options, the PGA TOUR announced Wednesday that The Sentry will not be contested in 2026. The Sony Open in Hawaii, held Jan. 12-18, will serve as the opening event of the 2026 TOUR season.
The TOUR announced last month that The Sentry would not be played at The Plantation Course at Kapalua due to ongoing drought conditions on Maui, water conservation requirements and agronomic conditions.
Having assessed alternate venues in Hawaii and beyond, the TOUR determined it would not be able to contest The Sentry in 2026, citing logistical challenges — including shipping deadlines, tournament infrastructure and vendor support.

The Sentry field was to include the top 50 players from the previous year’s FedExCup standings, plus those players who won a PGA TOUR event in 2025. While those who finished inside the top 50 in the FedExCup standings are exempt for every Signature Event in 2026, tournament winners outside the top 50 who would have played The Sentry will now have access to an additional Signature Event in 2026: the RBC Heritage in April.
