LAHAINA, Hawaii — The Maui Invitational is returning to the Lahaina Civic Center for the first time since wildfires devastated the area and killed 101 people. The tournament will be played Nov. 25-27 after being shifted to Honolulu earlier this season. The deadliest U.S. wildfire in more than a century devastated the historic town of Lahaina on Aug. 8, with thousands of residents losing their homes and most of the downtown area burned to ashes. The death toll rose to 101 this month when the remains of 76-year-old Paul Kasprzycki were identified. Two people are still missing. The Lahaina Civic Center was spared by the flames, but officials opted to shift the Maui Invitational to Oahu.
