January’s blur of PGA Tour events is pau. Now for the rest of Hawaii’s 2019 golf tournaments, with a little LPGA — and Michelle Wie and Stephanie Kono — as an April bonus.
That month ends with a bang. Brooke Henderson is expected back at Ko Olina to defend her LPGA Lotte Championship April 17-20. The following week is the 61st Mid-Pacific Open and the Big West Men’s Championships at Wailua.
This year’s calendar is similar to last, with most of the tournaments returning and, unfortunately, the Hawaii State Open still up in the air. The hope is to have it return to its place the second week of December, at a site still to be finalized.
In less than a year, the PGA Tour will be back, with the Sentry TOC, Sony Open in Hawaii and seniors’ Mitsubishi Electric Championship all on the January 2020 schedule.
