That status remains today, although it became a Signature Event a few years ago and its field was expanded to include members of the previous season's FedEx Cup Top 50.As a winner's tournament, the field has traditionally been strong. Several legends have won the title, including Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Sam Snead, Gary Player, Tom Watson, Phil Mickelson, and Tiger Woods.Nicklaus holds the record for most victories with five, while Gene Littler has the largest margin of victory with 13 strokes (1955). The 'Aggregate' and 'To Par' records (34-under 258) belong to Cameron Smith, who won in 2022. Smith's record is also the lowest score in PGA Tour history.The tournament has been played at the Plantation Course, Kapalua Resort, Maui, Hawaii since 1999. It was previously played at the Desert Inn Country Club in Las Vegas, Nevada (1953 - 1956), the Stardust Country Club (1967, 1968), also in Las Vegas, and the La Costa Resort and Spa in Carlsbad, California (1969 - 1998).
