Best merchandise at the 2023 Sony Open at Waialae in Hawaii

HONOLULU —A good hat can be hard to find, but when you find one that fits your head just right and has a message that fits your persona, you don’t want to take it off.

This is my first visit to the Sony Open in Hawaii and I must say the cap game is strong at the Waialae Country Club pro shop this week. Some are simple and some are clever but they are among the best I’ve seen without copying another tournament and just putting its own spin on it. (Note to merchandise buyers: enough of the area code and zip code shirts and hats.)

There are other colorful shirts, cool belts and all the usual suspects in the Sony Open photo gallery. Check it all out below, and with no further adieu, here are my top three favorite caps at the Sony Open:

1. The Waialae W of the iconic palm trees at 16
2. The Shaka
3. WAI why not?
