Come winter, humpbacks are expected to come back More genuine.
But will they come back in favor of the tour?
This question has come to Hawaii this week’s sequel, where Kapalua Resort, the famous Maui destination and the long host of the opening of the PGA Tour season, announced that it is closing for two months to protect its premature courses after prolonged water restrictions. Starting on September 2, the bay of Kapalua and Plantation They will close for 60 days, while most of the resort remains open to guests, including the Bay course running.
News of the course closing, first reported by Apea And confirmed by Golf.com, has prompted speculation about Kapojua’s willingness to organize Sentry, the traditional January beginning of the tournament, which has been held in resort since 1999 and has long been among the players’ favorite stops.
“This decision was not made easily,” said Alex Nakajima, manager general of Kapojua Golf and tennis, in a statement. “Closing at this time will allow us to begin careful recovery and restoration so that courses can meet once again the game standards deserve.”
Capalua is located in West Maui, the dry side of an island backed by drought in recent years. In 2023, high winds and Tinderbox conditions helped promote a devastating fire that left more than 100 people dead and equalized the city of Lahaina, nine miles below the coast from Kapalua.
If the drought is to blame for the dried courses of the capcas is another matter. The owner of the resort, Tadashi Yanai, the founder of the Uniqlo clothing brand, believes that responsibility stands elsewhere. In a trial raised last week, Yanai joined home owners in Kapalua and local operators farm on Maui Land & Pineapple’s accusation of mismanagement of the gap and flow system that earns water from the West Maui Mountains in Kapalua.
“MLP consciously.” That discrepancies, not any act of God, or the strength of nature, or anything else, is why users who need it are currently without water. “
Maui Land & Pineapple has dismissed those claims, saying that the system inefficients are not the issue.

“During this time of registration of low flow levels, it is in the best interest of the community for all parties to remain focused on facts and solutions,” said Race Randle CEO CEO Apea. “Cooperation, not the judicial issue, is the best way forward to address West Maui’s water needs.”
Until recently, Capalua was under level 4 water restrictions, which usually prohibit the use of non -potant water for irrigation. While those restrictions have since been released at level 2 (allowing 60 percent irrigation), courses have been a war.
“According to Level 2 restrictions. Our team is making every effort to restore golf course conditions at the highest level to host the Sentry PGA tour in January 2026,” Nakajima and Kapalua said.
A decision if you will reopen the course on November 1 will be taken on October 15, he said.
