Links PGA Tour 2026 Sony Open

Post by Southcitygolf »

***SCG - Aloha and welcome to Honolulu, Hawaii.
Links PGA Tour 2026 is starting the year off at the Waialae Country Club for the 2026 Sony Open. :kicking:

** Here at Links PGA Tour 2026 we try to simulate the conditions of the PGA Tour. We select the green speed and Pin positions with the courses we have in the data base, to give you the feel of playing along side the Pro's. All holes are played from the back tees as course changes and inconsistent information makes moving the tees around very difficult

** Feels great getting back onto the links and swinging away. Last year, we started our first season on the mainland @ PGA West so I can't say I'm familiar with Waialae CC. The deep rough plays like deep rough, coupled with the large greens you can still get your GIR's but many three putt's await ya lol.

:bookh:
**We'll have 28 tournaments on tap for you this year with four (4) stops in California and four (4) stops in Texas. We'll have five (5) stops in Florida with the Cadillac Championship and The TPC Blue Monster at Doral making it's way back onto the tour.
It looks to be an exciting and challenging year.

** I try to Post the Pin Positions and conditions on my YouTube page (www.youtube.com/@Southcitygolf) in the Post section and over @ Links Corner in the forum before the first players tee off or ASAP. So if you like playing the courses the pro's do with similar conditions, we hope you'll be able to get your fix here. :clapping:

** I wanted to use my champ player this year but he's just not competitive. :surrender: I can shoot scratch but that ain't going to cut it against the Primetime Players.

** Play at what ever level you like. This is only a game and it's only for fun. I'd like to thank you for stopping by and checking things out. Your time is valuable and we thank you for choosing us ;-)) :cheers1:

Today is a Practice round. I'll have your first round pins tomorrow.

Aloha from North of the border. There's something on the PGA Tour site that can make things even more realistic. They show the hole lengths (not all holes are played from the back tees-especially the Par 3's). There's also a link from the PGA website called Tourcast that shows the holes in 3d, along with grandstands and other tour objects.

The only slight issue is that you have to wait until each round starts before you can "place" the holes and the tee boxes. Like I said it shouldn't be a deal breaker.

In most cases the PGA tees will be longer than the Links longest holes but that's a minor issue.

I'm also playing my own season based on 2025 so I can use the actual tournament scores, payouts, FEDEX points, etc. Previous years' results are also available through the PGA site.

And finally, don't forget our fantasy tour on the PGA site called "Gary's Players".
