The 2025 Sony Open in Hawaii marks the second event of the season on the PGA Tour, with the first full-field event unfolding from Thursday through Sunday at Waialae Country Club in Honolulu, Hawaii.
This week's PGA Tour event has an $8.7 million purse, with a 144-player field competing in the tournament. Not all 144 players are professionals, including top-ranked amateur Luke Clanton, who nearly won on the PGA Tour at The RSM Classic in November.
The winner's share of the 2025 Sony Open in Hawaii prize pool is at $1,566,000, with the second-place finisher taking home $948,300 in PGA Tour prize money, provided they finish in solo second place and there no need to split prize money among ties.
The Sony Open in Hawaii winner takes home 18 percent of the purse to the winner, and how much each PGA Tour player earns is guaranteed down to the last-place professional player.
The Sony Open in Hawaii field is headed by Hideki Matsuyama, Keegan Bradley, Corey Conners and more.
The tournament starts on Thursday with 144 players, and a cut will be made this week after two rounds to the top 65 players and ties. Every professional player in the field is paid for completing the event. The PGA Tour typically adding money to the purse if more than 65 professionals make the cut to ensure all players are paid.
While money is crucial to a professional golfer's livelihood, they also benefit from FedEx Cup points and Official World Golf Ranking points that can earn them bonus money and entry into future events, like major championships.
The winner of this event will get 500 FedEx Cup points, as will be practice for all standard events in 2025.
The champion also gets a to-be-determined amount of Official World Golf Ranking points.
All players who complete four rounds this week will earn both FedEx Cup points and Official World Golf Ranking points.
