The 2023 Sony Open in Hawaii gets underway on Thursday in Honolulu in Hawaii, with Waialae Country Club once again playing host to the PGA Tour's year-opening full-field event.
With the 144-player event unfolding in Hawaii, that means the East Coast of the United States will get to enjoy some primetime golf to start the new year. For the players competing, however, it means tee times at typical PGA Tour times.
The action will get underway at 7:10 a.m. local time -- or 12:10 p.m. Eastern time -- with threesomes off both the first and 10th tees. The groups will go off in threesomes off both tees until 9 a.m. local, when the morning wave stops. The afternoon wave picks up at 11:50 a.m. and goes through 1:40 p.m.
Golf fans can start watching the tournament live at 12 p.m. Eastern time, when PGA Tour Live on ESPN+ starts their brief preview before getting right into the golf action with four channels of coverage that goes until approximately 10:30 p.m. Eastern. You must be subscribed to ESPN+ to watch PGA Tour Live.
