The Mitsubishi Electric Championship at Hualalai is a golf tournament on the PGA Tour Champions in Hawaii, on the Big Island. It is played annually in January at the Hualalai Resort Golf Club in Kaʻūpūlehu in the Kona district, and Mitsubishi Electric is the main sponsor. The field consists of the senior major champions of the last five years and other tournament winners of the last two years, plus a few sponsor invitees.
The purse in 2020 was $1.8 million, with a winner's share of $305,000.
The tournament debuted 40 years ago in 1984 as the senior division within the PGA Tour's MONY Tournament of Champions at LaCosta Resort in Carlsbad, California. The purse was $100,000 and Orville Moody won by seven strokes to take the winner's share of $30,000. It continued as a division of that tournament through 1994, became a separate event in Puerto Rico in 1995, and relocated to Hualalai in 1997.
Beginning in 2018, the tournament went to a Thursday through Saturday schedule.
