The PGA Tour is really soaking up those Hawaiian vibes, and it seems like the island is returning the favor! After the excitement of The Sentry, the players have moved on to the Sony Open at the beautiful Waiʻalae Country Club in Honolulu. Round 1 started without a hitch – sunny skies, warm temps, and everything you’d expect from Hawaii. But now, as we head into Round 2, the big question is: what’s next?

Well, it looks like the weather’s about to spice things up a bit. The good news is that the warmth is sticking around with highs hitting 82°F, so it’ll still feel like classic Hawaii. But the wind? That’s where things get interesting. We’re talking gusts up to 24 mph, which could make for some tricky conditions. Friday morning will see winds from the northeast around 17 mph, gusting up to 25 mph, so players might have to rethink their club choices a bit.

And, of course, there’s that chance of rain. It’s only a 20% chance in the morning, but enough for players to keep their eyes on the sky. A few showers could pop up, but nothing too crazy to mess with the game.

So, while the tropical warmth is staying, it looks like the wind and a sprinkle of rain will make the second round of the Sony Open a bit more of a challenge. As the players gear up for the next round, all eyes are on who will surpass all these challenges and take home the trophy.

Everything to know about the Sony Open

The Sony Open is shaping up to be a real showdown, with a star-studded field on both the international and U.S. sides. On the global front, you’ve got big names like Hideki Matsuyama, Corey Conners, Tom Kim, and Robert MacIntyre. And from the U.S., Russell Henley, Keegan Bradley, Billy Horschel, and Brian Harman are all in the field in Hawaii.

Not everyone is in the mix, though—some players are tied up with the opening round of TGL, and a few are off to start their seasons on the DP World Tour later this month. But even with a few missing, the competition is looking fierce with a solid mix of TOUR pros, veterans, and some fresh rookies. They’re all chasing that $8.7 million purse, with the winner taking home a staggering $1.57 million.

You can catch all the action on Golf Channel and NBC, so you won’t miss a thing. With last week’s winner, Matsuyama, back in the mix, it’s going to be fun to see how it all plays out. And with the weather cooperating a bit more this round, the players might actually feel pretty lucky out there.
