The Sony Open, the second tournament of the 2025 PGA Tour, which announced its departure last week with The Sentry, will begin on the 10th (Friday). The Sony Open, the first full-field tournament of the 2025 PGA Tour, will be held at Waiali Country Club (par 70 / 7,044 yards) in Honolulu, Hawaii. The event, which will cost $8.7 million in total prize money, will feature Kim Joo-hyung, Ahn Byung-hoon, Kim Si-woo and Lee Kyung-hoon. The Sony Open of the PGA Tour, which will run for four days from 9 a.m. on Friday, will be broadcast live on TV channel SPOTV, SPOTV G&H, and sports OTT service SPOTV NOW.
Attention is focusing on whether the third Korean winner of the Sony Open will come out. Choi Kyung-ju won in 2008 and Kim Si-woo in 2023, while Ahn Byung-hoon tied for second at 17-under last season, continuing the Korean players' performance. This year's competition will feature Kim Joo-hyung and Lee Kyung-hoon, who are set to play for the first time in the season, and Ahn Byung-hoon and Kim Si-woo, who each have memories of performing well at the last Sony Open, ahead of their participation. Ahn Byung-hoon and Kim Si-woo finished joint 32nd at The Sentry last week, recording 16-under par.
Attention is also focusing on whether Hideki Matsuyama, who won last week's The Sentry tournament with a 35-under 257 to set a record for the lowest number of 72 holes in PGA Tour history, will continue to strengthen. From "No. 1" Scottie Scheffler to Xander Shopley, Rory McIlroy and Colin Morikawa, who have left due to injury, Matsuyama, who is ranked fifth, is the highest because of the absence of "TOP4." Matsuyama, "the highest ranking Asian player," is trying to win the Sony Open for the first time in three years following 2022 and become the champion for two consecutive weeks.
Meanwhile, if one of the top five FedEx Cup points in three competitions, from the Sony Open to the American Express to the Farmers Insurance Open, he or she can participate in the signature event AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. The Sony Open will also be followed by the Genesis Invitational scheduled for February. The top five players with the most FedEx Cup points at the Sony Open, American Express, Farmers Insurance Open, and the WM Phoenix Open in February will be given the opportunity to participate in the Genesis Invitational. As it is the first competition to participate in the signature event, the Sony Open, which is expected to be highly competitive, will take place in Honolulu, Hawaii from Friday to Monday.
