PGA Tour Drops 2 Hawaii Stops for 2027, Moves Cadillac Championship to March

Q: A mystery February date remains empty on the 2027 calendar; what surprise event is the PGA TOUR hiding before its massive structural overhaul?

The most likely answer is that the PGA TOUR has not officially revealed the Feb. 18-21 opposite-field event yet, but multiple reports point to the Puerto Rico Open filling that slot. The 2027 schedule leaves one tournament marked “TBD” on Feb. 18-21, the same week as the Genesis Invitational at Riviera. That empty date stands out because the TOUR has otherwise mapped out the season in detail ahead of its major 2028 restructuring into Championship Series and Challenger Series competition. Several outlets cited in the background reporting say the Puerto Rico Open was removed from the main 2027 schedule announcement but is widely expected to return in that open window. One report says it is “expected to fill that TBD slot,” and that aligns with the TOUR’s broader transition plans, since Puerto Rico has already been identified as a Challenger Series event beginning in 2028. What the TOUR appears to be “hiding,” then, is not a brand-new blockbuster tournament but likely a delayed confirmation of the Puerto Rico Open as the opposite-field event before the Genesis Invitational. No formal announcement has been made, so it remains unconfirmed. But based on the available reporting, Puerto Rico is the leading and most credible candidate.

The 2027 PGA Tour season will open Jan. 21-24 at The American Express, with Hawaii disappearing from the calendar after the Sony Open joined the already-canceled Kapalua event.
That leaves no PGA Tour stop in the state next year; the Sony Open, a fixture since 1965, is shifting to the PGA Tour Champions schedule instead.
The Cadillac Championship also moves up to early March, swapping dates with the Valspar Championship to create a regular-event window between the Masters and PGA Championship.
Beyond those changes, the 36-event slate keeps its broader shape, with the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach, the 155th Open at St. Andrews and the new Sompo Championship in Napa before the FedEx Cup Playoffs.
