Sony Open 2024 Odds: Favorites to win PGA Tour weekend in Hawaii

The big names like Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler and Viktor Hovland will not be playing in Hawaii this week. Instead, it’s players like Matt Fitzpatrick, Ludvig Aberg and Tyrell Hatton that find themselves as the favorites for this warm-weather event.

The tournament is hosted at Wai’alae Country Club. The PGA Tour has used this course since the 1960s.

Typically, you need some strong short play, especially with your wedges to do well at this tournament. It’s much shorter than last week’s stop, almost 600 yards on the scorecard though less in reality due to elevation, and long hitters do not have that much of an advantage.

Si Woo Kim won the tournament last year after a huge performance on Sunday that helped him come back from a few strokes down. He can be found around 35-1 at most sportsbooks for this weekend.

Sony Open in Hawaii best bet: Matt Fitzpatrick to win (+1600 or better)

While it’s not the most exciting pick, Matt Fitzpatrick is our first choice as one of the Sony Open in Hawaii best bets. The Englishman is one of the top players on tour and has a major to his name so you know he can perform in big situations.

Fitzpatrick also finished in the top five last week in Hawaii in strokes gained around the green, showing some ability in a key area for this tournament.

2024 Sony Open in Hawaii prediction: Chris Kirk to win (+2500 or better)

Chris Kirk is one of the best players around the green on the PGA Tour, something that makes us like him on this course. He finished first in strokes-gained around the green on Tour last week and won the tournament as a result.

Go with the hot hand and take Kirk at 25-1 or better to repeat and start the season on fire.

Sony Open in Hawaii Long Shot pick: Hideki Matsuyama odds (+4500 or better)

You can get Hideki Matsuyama for near 50-1 odds, a great price on a golfer that has eight career wins. One of those wins was in this very tournament when he won the 2022 Sony Open in Hawaii. Matsuyama has also won a Masters, showing off an impressive resume.

Last season, Matsuyama was one of the best players around approaching the green. We like that part of his game to thrive this weekend in Hawaii and really like this price for the Japanese golfer.

2024 Sony Open in Hawaii Prop Bets

You may not want to bet on a golfer to specifically win this weekend. If that’s the case, here are the top prop bets that you can take for the Sony Open in Hawaii.

Sony Open in Hawaii Prop Bet: Matt Fitzpatrick Top 10 finish (+225 or better)

To get one of the best golfers who played well last week and has shown off some big tournament chops at this price to finish in the top 10 is a steal.

Fitzpatrick should be considered among the absolute best on the PGA Tour and the top 10 is not a lofty mark for him.

Sony Open in Hawaii Nationality Prop Bet: Hideki Matsuyama 1st round best Asian golfer (+650 or better)

We’ve already outlined why we like Matsuyama as a dark horse to win the whole tournament above.

In terms of finishing first among Asian golfers after the first round, he really needs to beat out another former winner in Si Woo Kim, and also beat out Byeong-Hun An. We think that Matsuyama’s hands around the green will help him do so on day one.

You could also get Matsuyama at +210 to finish in the Top 20 for a shorter betting line.
