The PGA Tour is set to open its 2021 season at Kapalua in January, five months after Maui wildfires devastated the area. This is a major milestone for the region and a sign of hope for the local community.
The Kapalua Plantation Course, home to the PGA Tour’s season-opening event, was hit hard by the wildfires that swept through Maui in August. The course suffered extensive damage, with more than 200 acres of the golf course destroyed.
The PGA Tour has been working closely with the Maui community to help rebuild the course and restore it to its former glory. The PGA Tour and its sponsors have donated more than $1 million to the relief effort, and the Tour has also committed to donating a portion of its proceeds from the 2021 event to the relief effort.
The 2021 event will be a special one for the region, as it marks the first major sporting event in Maui since the wildfires. The tournament will also be a major boost to the local economy, as it will bring in thousands of visitors and generate millions of dollars in revenue.
The PGA Tour is also hoping that the event will help to raise awareness about the importance of fire safety and prevention. The Tour has partnered with local fire departments to provide educational materials and resources to help prevent future wildfires.
The 2021 PGA Tour season opener at Kapalua will be a special event for the region and a sign of hope for the local community. It will be a reminder that even in the face of adversity, Maui can come together and rebuild stronger than ever before.
