The Sony Open in Hawaii is a professional golf tournament on the PGA Tour, and is part of the tour's FedEx Cup Series.
Hawaii Open history starts as early as 1928. However, the modern-day tournament dates back to 1965, when the Hawaii Open became part of the PGA Tour and now is reconized as the Sony Open. Starting in 1971, the tournament was held in either January or February. Currently, it is held in January, the second overall event and the first full-field event on the PGA Tour schedule.
The tournament began as the Hawaiian Open in 1928. It remained as the Hawaiian Open until 1990, when United Airlines signed on as the sponsor, calling it United Hawaiian Open for one year. A slight change in name the following year, to the United Airlines Hawaiian Open, lasted until Sony took over as sponsor.

2010 PGA Sony Open Results
HONOLULU (AP) — Ryan Palmer (FSY) expected the worst when his chip from 50 feet short of the 18th green came out a little strong.
Seconds later, he never felt better.
His chip struck the pin squarely, and instead of running about 8 feet past the hole, it settled a few inches away. Palmer tapped in for a birdie and a 4-under 66, giving him a one-shot victory in the Sony Open when Robert Allenby (FSY) missed a 10-foot birdie putt.
"What a way to start the year," Palmer said.
All week long at the Sony Open, he tried to stay in the moment, a lesson he picked up earlier in the week while reading an article about defending champion Zach Johnson (FSY). The chip turned out to be the greatest moment of all.
"It was a good chip," Palmer said. "The grain was running against me. It was either going to hit it fat or do what I did. Fortunately, I got the good break."
