DP World Tour Top: A trio of aspiring Japanese – Rikuya Hoshino, Kaito Onishi and Takumi Kanaya – will make dream debuts as PGA Tour members at this week’s Sony Open.

Hoshino, 28, traversed the globe in 2024, where he competed in no fewer than 15 different countries to secure his PGA Tour card via the DP World Tour Top-10 while Kanaya, 26, played primarily on the Japan Golf Tour with the occasional forays to the U.S. to attend Qualifying School, where he fought to a solo third finish in the cutthroat Final Stage for his playing rights.

The 26-year-old Onishi, a standout at the University of Southern California, used the Korn Ferry Tour platform in the U.S. where a top-30 finish in the season points list saw him earn his PGA Tour card for the first time in his burgeoning career.
