Former UH athletics director Craig Angelos reapplies for position

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – Former University of Hawaii athletics director Craig Angelos has reapplied for the position, he confirmed to Hawaii News Now on Friday.

The news was first reported by Kanoa Leahey on his ESPN Honolulu radio show.

Angelos confirmed to Hawaii News Now that he sent in his application on Thursday, but declined further comment to keep a low-key approach.

Angelos was the head of the UH athletics department for 18 months before he was dismissed on Nov. 19 by then-university president David Lassner.

Lassner said the decision was “based on performance” and, while he would not go into specifics, called the move “necessary, appropriate and professional.”

The move stunned some fans and student-athletes, with UH volleyball middle blocker Kurt Nusterer starting a petition to reinstate Angelos.

“Save Craig” shirts also populated the stands and numerous UH sporting events.

Despite those efforts, Angelos’ last day on the job was Dec. 1, 2024.

Associate athletics director Lois Manin is serving as interim AD, but said she is not interested in assuming the position permanently.

New UH president Wendy Hensel officially opened the national search for a new athletics director on April 4. She has said she hopes to have someone in place by early summer.

2026 Sony Open field is announced. See who’s playing in Hawaii

The Sony Open in Hawaii has the honors of being the kickoff event to the 2026 PGA Tour season after the cancellation of The Sentry at Kapalua this season.

Instead of Maui, the Tour debuts in Honolulu on the island of Oahu, Jan. 15-18, at the Seth Raynor-designed Waialae Country Club, where Nick Taylor prevailed in a playoff over Nico Echavarria last year.

Among the changes this season is the field size, which was reduced from 144 to 120, and, there is no longer is a Monday qualifier offering four spots. Will that help with pace of play? Stay tuned.

The field includes the following notables in addition to Taylor and Echavarria: Daniel Berger, Keegan Bradley, Michael Brennan, Corey Conners, Tony Finau, Chris Gotterup, Brian Harman, Russell Henley, Billy Horschel, Robert MacIntyre, Collin Morikawa, Adam Scott, Jordan Spieth, Sahith Theegala, Gary Woodland and 62-year-old Vijay Singh.

Here’s the full field for the Sony Open, which will be live on Golf Channel all four days as well as NBC with early-round coverage on Saturday and Sunday.

This year’s Sony purse is $9.1 million and the winner also will receive 500 FedEx Cup points.
