2023 Sony Open odds: Tom Kim, Corey Conners among best picks in Hawaii

Three weeks separate players from the first major championship of the season -- the 2024 Masters -- with final preparations still needing to be made. For many, the 2024 Valspar Championship will be the last time they take to the competitive setting until bidding for the green jacket at Augusta National in April. Chief among those players who will…

A full field of 156 PGA Tour professionals will head to the Copperhead Course at Innisbrook for the Valspar Championship this week. This tournament marks the fourth-and final-PGA Tour stop in Florida, with the "Snake Pit" taking center stage in the golf world. The 16th, 17th, and 18th holes at the Copperhead Course comprise the "Snake Pit," as they…

Here's our pick, the Valspar Championship odds, betting favorites and everything else you need to know. Our long-shot pick this week might be familiar if you watched last year's Valspar. His name is Taylor…

Viktor Hovland shot a course-record 61 (including a 28 on the back nine) Sunday to win the BMW Championship by two strokes at -17 over Matt Fitzpatrick and Scottie Scheffler and cashed a 17-1 ticket for this column. The 61 was Hovland's career low and the lowest final-round score in the history of the FedEx Cup Playoffs. He made 12 threes in what…

The TOUR Championship tees off this week from East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, Georgia. The tournament will run a full four days without a cut, and the field is made up of the top 30 golfers in FedExCup standings following last week's BMW Championship. Lucas Glover and Viktor Hovland won the first two playoff events, but this one is much more…

Tony Finau has admitted that if consistency and form is what USA captain Zach Johnson is looking for ahead of the Ryder Cup later this year, his spot on the plane to Rome could be in jeopardy. Finau was part of the losing 2018 side in France and the triumphant 2021 side at Whistling Straits in Wisconsin, where he earned one point from three matches…

Last year, Jon Rahm and Tony Finau finished 1-2 at the Mexico Open. Last weekend, the positions were reversed as Finau defeated Rahm by three strokes with a winning score of 24 under par. Brandon Wu, who finished T-2 last year, finished third at 19 under. Rahm, who had carded a course-record 61 in the third round, was chasing a fifth win of the…

Taylor Moore earned his first PGA Tour victory, following his former University of Arkansas teammate Nicolás Echavarría at the Puerto Rico Open two weeks ago, last weekend at the Valspar Championship. Moore, priced at 60-1, carded a closing 67 on Sunday to finish 10 under. That score held up as Adam Schenk needed to par the 18th to force a playoff…

As fun as the Players Championship is to watch and cover, we speak for the entire gambling community when we say that is the worst event to bet on. The volatility never ceases to amaze. Make a note for next year: whoever you think is going to play well, don't bet them. Whoever you think is going to play poorly, hammer away. We're happily on to the…

Hideki Matsuyama will try to defend his crown this week when the 2023 Sony Open tees off Thursday at Waialae Country Club in Honolulu. Matsuyama aims to become the first golfer to go back-to-back at Waialae since Jimmy Walker (2014-15). Matsuyama stormed back from five strokes down with nine holes to play last year and beat Russell Henley with an…

The PGA Tour will stick around in Hawaii for one more week. The Sony Open, which takes place at Waialae Country Club in Honolulu, is the first full-field event of the 2023 season. Compared to last week's Sentry Tournament of Champions, the field at Waialae is lacking in terms of star power, and that is giving the oddsboard a bit of a different look…

The Sony Open 2023 is set to tee off on Thursday at Waialae Country Club in Honolulu, Hawaii. The long-standing tournament is a follow up to the first elevated PGA Tour event of season in last week's Sentry Tournament of Champions. Seven of the top 25 golfers in the world are in the 2023 Sony Open field, headlined by Tom Kim, Jordan Spieth, Hideki…

When you travel to Hawaii, it can be tough to leave. The PGA Tour knows the lure of the islands. As it does each year after Kapalua, it is lingering in Hawaii for another week, puddle-jumping from Maui to Oahu for the Sony Open, at Wai'alae Country Club. Unlike last week's no-cut Sentry Tournament of Champions, the Sony features a full field of 144…

Keith Stewart is an award-winning PGA Professional and founder of Read The Line, a leading golf betting insights service covering the PGA Tour which will raise your betting acumen (and hopefully your…

The PGA Tour makes its way to the capital of the Aloha State for the 2023 Sony Open this week. Taking place at Waialae Country Club, players will be faced with a much different task compared to last week's Plantation Course at Kapalua. Measuring just over 7000 yards and playing to a par 70, this Seth Raynor design puts an emphasis on keeping the…

When betting golf, you have to be prepared for some pain or "sadness" as Collin Morikawa called it after Sunday's final round at Kapalua. Morikawa looked like he was going to be a wire-to-wire winner at the Sentry Tournament of Champions as he had a nine-shot lead on the field with 17 holes left to play. At the turn, Morikawa was -20000 to win. He…

After a beautiful (and heartbreaking, but we'll get to that later) week in Maui, it's time to head over to the big island for the Sony Open. Defending champion Hideki Matsuyama, Jordan Spieth and Tom Kim highlight a solid field bound for the PGA Tour's second event of the new year. Waialae Country Club is a marksman's paradise - a par-70 track…

Sunday's final round at the Tournament of Champions was supposed to be a formality. Collin Morikawa led by six shots entering the day and his live reached -20000 after 10 holes. He collapsed in epic fashion, with Jon Rahm blazing ahead to shoot 63 for a two-shot win. It couldn't possibly have set the tone any better for what promises to be another…

Almost half the PGA Tour field from last week will make the short hop over to Honolulu for the 2023 Sony Open at Waialae Country Club. Nineteen of the 39 players from the Sentry Tournament of Champions are scheduled to tee off Thursday. The top names are three-time major champion Jordan Spieth, defending Sony Open champion Hideki Matsuyama, and…

The 2023 Sony Open in Hawaii, the first full-field event of the new year, begins on Thursday, and according to the Sony Open betting odds via BetMGM, Jordan Spieth is among the favorites, but another player leads the way. Here's what you need to know. Jordan Spieth hasn't played the Sony Open in Hawaii since 2019, and that was amidst a lost year of…

The PGA Tour is back for 2023, and the players are in Hawaii. It probably feels like the golf was never away, which is because thanks to the wraparound season we now enjoy, it really wasn't. Regardless, following last week's Sentry Tournament of Champions, where Jon Rahm triumphed after Collin Morikawa relinquished a commanding lead, the players…

The Fall Swing has not been kind to us so far. Key words: so far. We're not getting discouraged and nor should you, not on a week like this, with six of the top 10 players in the Official World Golf Ranking will descend upon Congaree Golf Club for the CJ Cup in South Carolina. It's not quite a "divert your full attention away from football" week,…

All the excitement of the PGA Tour season concludes this weekend with the Tour Championship. The top 30 players will battle for the FedExCup in the serenity of Georgia's East Lake Golf Club. The event's purse is $75 million, with the winner receiving $18 million of that. Last year, Rory McIlroy won his third championship and FedEx Cup, becoming the…
