Sony Open Purse: How Much Money Does the Winner Make?

The 2026 Sony Open in Hawaii isn’t just kicking off the PGA Tour season; it’s doing so with a healthy $9.1 million purse, one of the larger non-signature event prize pools on the early schedule. Held at the iconic Waialae Country Club in Honolulu, the Sony Open has traditionally served as a prime opportunity for players to make an immediate impact in the new season, both in terms of momentum and earnings.

This early-season prize pool puts real competitive and financial stakes on the Sony Open, even if it doesn’t carry the prestige or signature status of events like The Players Championship or majors later in the year.

Sony Open Third Round: Riley Takes Control, Tight Chase Group Forms

Moving into Saturday’s third round, the leaderboard tightened dramatically as players jostled for positioning with the weekend in sight. After 36 holes, a back-and-forth battle among several contenders left the field wide open. A collection of players shared the lead, making Moving Day highly unpredictable and fun to watch.

By the end of Round 3, Davis Riley had emerged with a solo lead, posting the best score among the leaders to enter Sunday at 12 under par. It was a strong performance that showed both consistency and the ability to handle the tricky conditions Waialae can present–especially on a Saturday when the wind tends to swing into play.

Behind Riley, a handful of players remained firmly within striking distance. Harry Hall and Chris Gotterup sat close enough on the leaderboard to remain legitimate threats, while others like Kevin Roy continued to push. The fact that nine players were within three shots of the lead entering the final round set up a compelling Sunday with more than one story to follow.
