The event, which was originally held in September or October, has been held in January since 1970. In 1991, the event gained its first title sponsor, United Airlines, and thus the event changed its name to the United Hawaiian Open for that season. The event again changed its name to the United Airlines Hawaiian Open from 1992 to 1998.
In 1999, Sony became the title sponsor, thus naming the event the Sony Open in Hawaii. The event was organized by the Friends of Hawaii Charities. In 2017, Justin Thomas set four records at each round: 59 at 18 holes, 123 at 36 holes, and 188 at 54 holes, and the total tournament record was 253.
