May 2024 ยท 2 minute read

For this year's edition of the Sony Open in Hawaii, the overall tournament purse sees a significant increase, rising from $6.6 million to $7.5 million, with the winner of the event taking home a nice $1.35 million for their efforts.

In 2021, it was Kevin Na who secured his fifth PGA Tour title in Honolulu but, with a 144-strong player field, the American will have to be on the top of his game to add another title to his trophy cabinet.

Inaugurated in 1965, the tournament is held at Waialae Country Club and is the first full-field event of the calendar year, following the Sentry Tournament of Champions. Not only that, but after PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan confirmed that the PGA Tour's overall purse will increase from $367 million to $427 million for November 2021 for the 2021/22 season, players will be looking to start 2022 in style.

With the field getting cut down to the top-65 after the conclusion of the second round, check out how the prize money will be distributed below.
