Each January for the past 13 years, the Sony Open has attracted the world's greatest golfers to the Waialae Country Club on the island of Oahu. The event is the largest charity even in Hawaii and has raised over $11 million dollars since it's start in 1999.
Eight past winners have already committed to play in the 2012 annual event from January 9th to the 15th. They include Mark Wilson, Ryan Palmer (2010), Zach Johnson (2009), K.J. Choi (2008), Paul Goydos (2007), David Toms (2006), Ernie Els (2004,2003) and Jerry Kelly (2002).
