Hawaiian Airlines Diamond Head Classic Moves 2025 Date, Adds Women’s Event

The Diamond Head Classic, sponsored by Hawaiian Airlines and traditionally held during the December holiday period, will be rescheduled starting in 2025 to late November around the Thanksgiving holiday with a women’s tournament added to the schedule.

This year’s field also included Charlotte, College of Charleston, Loyola Chicago, Murray State, Oakland and tournament host Hawai’i.

A women’s multi-team event featuring the University of Hawai’i will debut under the Hawaiian Airlines Diamond Head Classic banner next season with the tournament format and exact dates to be announced in the future.
