Key Highlights
- Open ending on Father's Day. Aloha can mean hello or goodbye, and there was a tangible vibe of the latter at the Sony Open even without Chris Gotterup saying after his two-shot victory, “Hopefully, I'm not the last champion.”The Sentry at Kapalua was canceled amid a water dispute in Maui now caught up in lawsuits that probably won't be heard until 2027, well after the Future Competition Committee wraps up its work on a new schedule. Wisconsin-based Sentry has a title sponsorship contract through 2035 and no one would be surprised to see it associated with another tournament.
- This is the last year of Farmers Insurance as the title sponsor at Torrey Pines, a tournament that dates to 1952 and has been at Torrey since 1968, a year before the modern PGA Tour began.

- “I'm going to miss those trips.”He was on the practice range Monday at PGA West, and there was no guarantee he would be returning to The American Express next year through no choice of his own.
- Adam Scott is playing for the first time.
- As it relates to so much uncertainty, he added with a laugh, "Maybe the last time.”Everything is in play.
