The first full-field event of the 2024 PGA Tour season begins at the Waialae Country Club in Honolulu on Thursday with, perhaps surprisingly, only two Australians in the Sony Open field.
Following on from last week’s Sentry event at Kapalua, the Sony Open takes its traditional spot as the second tournament of the year but the first with a full field (144)
Cam Davis and Aaron Baddeley will tee it up in the US$8.3 million event, Baddeley for the 11th occasion and Davis for the 6th.
Baddeley first played this event in his very first tournament as a PGA Tour cardholder back in 2002 when he lost a playoff to Ernie Els and even last year he recorded consecutive rounds of 65 at the weekend to finish in a share of 7th place, his equal best finish of 2023.
Davis has one top ten in his previous starts in the event, that coming in 2020 when 9th.
Korea’s Si Woo Kim is the defending champion, the Korean winning by one shot over Hayden Buckley.
