Note: After its well-publicised first two years in 1928/29, the Hawaiian Open settled down to become a local, relatively low money event from 1930 thru' 1964. It was typically played at Waialae CC, and occasionally attracted a few top professionals from the PGA Tour. Most famously during this period, Gene Sarazen won it in 1934. Local amateur Arthur Armstrong, from Palolo, Honolulu, was the most prolific winner of the title (1939, '40, '43, '45, '46).
