The PGA Tour remains in Hawaii a week removed from the 2021 opening Sentry Tournament of Champions. That tournament involved individual tournament winners from 2020, while this week’s Sony Open is the first notable open tournament of the 2021 calendar.
A year ago, Australian golfer Cameron Smith won the tournament and American Brendan Steele was the runner-up in a playoff. This year, Webb Simpson (+1100) enters as the favorite at DraftKings Sportsbook and he’s followed by Harris English (+1300) and Daniel Berger, Collin Morikawa, and Sungjae Im (all at +1500). The defending champ Smith is +3000 and the runner-up Steele is +22500.
The tournament gets underway on Thursday with tee times starting at 12:10 p.m. ET. Golf Channel will have live coverage on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 7 p.m.-10:30 p.m. ET, and on Sunday from 6-10 p.m. ET. PGA Tour Live will offer streaming coverage at the open of the Thursday and Friday rounds.
Below is a full list of tee times for Round 1 of the Sony Open on Thursday. All times listed are Hawaii time, which is five hours earlier than ET. The featured groups on Thursday are the trio of Collin Morikawa, Webb Simpson, and Marc Leishman and the trio of Sergio Garcia, Joaquin Niemann, and Hideki Matsuyama. That first trio tees off at Hole No. 1 at 12:30 p.m. ET and the second trio tees off at hole No. 1 at 12:40 p.m. ET.
