It’s been a long time since we’ve had some PGA TOUR action on our television sets, but the wait is finally over. Instead of Kapalua, the best players in the world will start the new season at Waialae for the Sony Open.

Nick Taylor is back to defend his title and joined in the field by Collin Morikawa, Jordan Spieth, Keegan Bradley, Hideki Matsuyama, Adam Scott, J.J. Spaun, and Tony Finau, among others. For a lineup that usually lacks star power thanks to The Sentry, that’s a damn-good field to open the year with.

With the action kicking off Thursday, here's all the information you need for the Sony Open in Hawaii.
