Sony Open Odds, Picks, Predictions: Field Remains Strong for Second Hawaii Event

Tom Kim is the consensus betting favorite for the Sony Open in Hawaii. Sungjae Im, Jordan Spieth, and defending champion Hideki Matsuyama are among the top contenders. Sony is second of two PGA Tour events in the 50th state. The first full field of 2023 is in Waialae Country Club in Honolulu.

Kim is the tournament favorite at +1100. Matsuyama is defending champion. Brian Harman is a two-time PGA Tour winner. Billy Horschel is ranked third in the world. He's the third-highest ranked golfer in this year's tournament.

The PGA Tour is in Hawaii this week. The new Waialae Country Club course is different from the one used for the Sentry TOC. Water is played on just three holes. Par 3s range from 176 to 204 yards, with all but one shorter than 200 yards. Two par 4s are shorter that 400 yards and two par 5s check in at 506 and 551 yards in 2022.

Strokes gained: approach is the most important stat for the Sony Open. Distance is important, but accuracy over distance is more important than distance.

Russell Henley is a slight favorite at Sony Open at Waialae CC. Henly lost in a playoff to Matsuyama in 2022. He's been the better of the two in SG: approach and SG- tee-to-green.

K.H. Lee is a strong favorite at Sony Open in Hawaii. He has won both of his tournaments at TPC Craig Ranch. His current form suggests a breakthrough lies ahead.

Adam Svensson won his first PGA Tour event at Sea Island Golf Club. He is a +8000 favorite at PointsBet. He finished T-7 at the 2022 Sony Open.

Tom Kim is the tournament favorite to finish in the top 10. FanDuel offers a market-low price of +105 for Kim. DraftKings offers +130. BetMGM has odds of -115.
