The PGA Tour is returning to Maui five months after the deadly wildfires devasted nearby Lahaina. Chief competitions officer Tyler Dennis sent a memo to players.
The property at Kapalua Resort was not affected, though a third of the staff who live in the Lahaina area lost their homes.that most of West Maui will reopen to visitors on Oct. 8. The area has some 11,000 hotel rooms, half of Maui’s total. The Bay Course at Kapalua opened on Wednesday, and the Plantation Course where the tournament is held is to open on Oct. 18.
“There is no other organization in sport which rallies around those in need like the PGA Tour,” Dennis wrote. “Given the overwhelming support for playing the tournament, the tour and The Sentry are currently working on plans to further raise awareness and assist with fundraising and community service to Maui in a thoughtful and respectful manner.”
