The PGA Tour announced on Wednesday that The Sentry, its season-opening tournament, will not be contested in 2026. The decision came after the Tour assessed various options for alternative venues but ultimately concluded that logistical issues and ongoing drought conditions made it unfeasible to hold the event.
This cancellation marks a significant change in the Tour's schedule, as The Sentry has traditionally kicked off the PGA Tour season in Maui. The Sony Open in Honolulu will now assume the role of the first event of the year.
In a statement, the PGA Tour expressed disappointment over the cancellation but emphasized the need to prioritize player safety and the integrity of the tournament. The decision reflects broader environmental challenges facing golf courses in the region, as water scarcity continues to impact course conditions.
