The Big Break V: Hawaii was the fifth edition of The Golf Channel's reality television competition program, The Big Break . The show's premise is to award aspiring golf professionals exemptions into event on major tours, eliminating one contestant each week through a series of challenges until only one player is left.

The Big Break V: Hawaii was filmed at the Turtle Bay Resort of Oahu's North Shore in Hawaii from October 16 to October 30, 2005. The shooting location was apparently quite close to where ABC's hit series, Lost , also shot on Oahu, is filmed. The show premiered on The Golf Channel on February 7, 2006.

This was the second edition of the show in which all of the contestants were female, the first being the popular The Big Break III: Ladies Only , which aired from February 8 to April 26, 2005.

The Big Break V: Hawaii was also the first edition of the show to begin with 11 contestants rather than the usual 10, as one of the contestants would be eliminated on the first episode, the first time anyone would ever be eliminated on the season premiere. Vince Cellini and Stephanie Sparks returned to co-host their third edition of the show. The Big Break: All Access , the show's behind-the-scenes spinoff, returned for its second season. The Big Break IV: USA vs. Europe contestant Marty Wilde, Jr. hosted All Access . All Access premiered the night after the first episode.

Just after the show premiered, a calendar featuring the 11 contestants in model-style poses while wearing beachwear was released. It drew some criticism from the show's viewers, who said that The Golf Channel was more interested in potential contestants' looks rather than their playing skills, but the contestants themselves said they enjoyed doing the calendar shoot.

Ashley Prange was the show's eventual winner, defeating Jeanne Cho in the matchplay final, which aired on May 9, 2006, 5 & 4, in the show's most lopsided matchplay final victory to date
