Nick Taylor will attempt to defend his title in Honolulu among a field that includes the likes of Jordan Spieth, Collin Morikawa, J.J. Spaun and Hideki Matsuyama. Also teeing it up this week is 62-year-old Vijay Singh, who will be making his first start in a Tour-level event besides the Masters in five years.
