PGA TOUR: SONY OPEN
Sony Open, the first full-field PGA TOUR event of 2023, will be held at Waialae Country Club in Honolulu, Hawaii, where it has been held since 1965. This is the third-oldest PGA TOUR event in which every round in the tournament’s history has been played on the same golf course, with only the Masters at Augusta National Golf Club and the Charles Schwab Invitational at Colonial CC having hosted every round of a tournament for a longer time. Hideki Matsuyama looks to defend his 2022 title.
Live coverage begins tomorrow in primetime at 7 p.m. ET on GOLF Channel and Peacock. A total of eight hours of live coverage will air on NBC, Peacock, and GOLF Channel throughout the weekend, beginning on NBC at 4 p.m. ET on Saturday and Sunday.
