The 2026 PGA Tour season begins with the Sony Open at Wai'alae Country Club, and there are a handful of top-ranked players teeing it up this week in Hawaii. Past winner Russell Henley tops the Sony Open odds board, and my top golf picks have you covered for the season opener this week.

The PGA Tour's 2026 season is officially here. The Sony Open in Hawaii kicks off Thursday at Waialae Country Club in Honolulu, the capital of Hawaii. It's the first official PGA Tour event since the RSM Classic in November, kicking off the year after the cancellation of The Sentry last week.
