The PGA Tour tees off its 2026 season this week with the Sony Open in Hawaii. A total of 120 golfers look to start off the campaign with a strong showing at Waialae Country Club in Honolulu, including defending event champion Nick Taylor. The 37-year-old won last year's tournament in dramatic fashion, edging Nico Echavarria in a playoff for his fifth career PGA Tour victory.
