How to watch the Sony Open on Thursday
The brand new PGA Tour season gets underway Thursday in Hawaii, and one of last season’s stars hopes to keep the momentum going Thursday.
That player is JJ Spaun. At No. 6, Spaun is one of the top-ranked players in the Sony Open field. But he is the only one to win a major tournament in 2025.
Spaun won the 2025 US Open at the treacherous Oakmont last summer. It was the 35-year-old’s second PGA Tour, and earned him a spot on the 2025 US Ryder Cup team.
Spaun will play the opening round alongside one of his Ryder Cup teammates: Collin Morikawa.
You can watch the first round of the Sony Open on TV with the Golf Channel, which airs at 7pm ET on Thursday night. PGA Tour Live on ESPN+ will offer group coverage beginning Thursday at 12 pm ET.
