Brian Harman Not In Form Heading To Hawaii

Brian Harman has made the cut at the Sony Open in eight out of 10 attempts, but his only top-10 finish came in 2018, and he has gone missed cut-32-56 since. A decent 2021 season for the lefty resulted in four top-10 finishes, but the last of those came at the Travelers Championship in June. […]

Erik Van Rooyen A Risky Play In Hawaii

Erik Van Rooyen finished T25 last week at Kapalua and lost strokes in all three of the tee-to-green categories. This was not what fantasy gamers hoped to see from the South African, who was coming off a lackluster fall performance in 2021 as well. The 65th-ranked golfer in the world teed it up at the […]

Brandt Snedeker Still Struggling

Brandt Snedeker (OWGR No. 199) has been sliding down the world rankings the last two years, and there does not seem to be much optimism in sight. The American's only top-10 finish in 2021 was a T6 at the Valero Texas Open, and he last played at The RSM Classic, where he finished T47. With […]

Jason Kokrak Doesn't Fit The Bill At Waialae

Jason Kokrak comes into the Sony Open off a disappointing last-place finish at the Sentry Tournament of Champions. Kokrak was let down by his putter, losing over an entire stroke on the greens in the event. With that, Kokrak comes into Waialae Country Club still looking for any success at the event. Kokrak has made […]

Kevin Kisner Primed For Another Good Week In Hawaii

Kevin Kisner comes into the Sony Open off his best finish of the season so far. Kisner finished T8 after shooting 24-under par at the Sentry Tournament of Champions. Now, Kisner returns to a place he has had success at, Waialae Country Club. Since 2015, Kisner has not missed a cut at the Sony Open, […]

Matt Jones Coming Into Sony Open In Great Form

Matt Jones had an amazing weekend at Kapalua. Jones shot a PGA tour record for 36 holes. Yet Jones is not projected to be highly owned this week. Jones is not known for his approach game; he only has gained strokes on approach in 13 out of his last 51 starts. However, Jones is an […]

Stewart Cink Has Good Value At Sony Open

Stewart Cink played better than his 21st-place finish last week. Cink gained 2.7 strokes from tee to green while also gaining strokes on approach and off the tee. The 48-year-old American tries to play The Sony Open every year and has found success at Waialae. The winner of the RBC Heritage last year, Cink ranks […]

Sungjae Im Ready For Success At Waialae

Sungjae Im looks to be taking the next step in his already successful PGA Tour career. Im picked up at win early in the fall swing and hasn't looked back. Since his win at the Shriners, Im has recorded a finish no worse than T19, and added his third top-10 of the season last week […]

Keith Mitchell An Elite Value At Waialae

Keith Mitchel has excellent course history at Waialae. Mitchell ranks 11th from tee to green at this course and is 18th in DraftKings points. Mitchell is consistently strong off the tee and from tee to green, which makes sense as to why he has found success at The Sony Open. Mitchell also had a strong […]

Webb Simpson Brings Impressive Record Back To Waialae

Webb Simpson has only missed the Sony Open twice in the last 13 seasons, and there is a good reason for that. Since 2013, Simpson has recorded a finish no worse than inside the top-20. His last three starts at the Sony Open have resulted in a fourth, third, and another fourth-place finish. On track […]

Branden Grace Has Nice Value In Hawaii

Branden Grace arrives at The Sony after a 33rd-place finish at The Sentry. The South African won the Puerto Rico Open last year and had a strong summer campaign, highlighted by a seventh-place finish at The U.S. Open. Grace's best finish at the Sony was a 13th-place showing in 2017. Grace did his damage that […]

Maverick McNealy Set For First Start Of 2022

Maverick McNealy is set to make his first start of 2022 after a successful fall swing in 2021. McNealy made five of six cuts and had a best finish of second at the Fortinet Championship. McNealy also finished the fall with three straight top-25 finishes in the ZOZO Championship, Mayakoba Championship, and Houston Open. A […]

Adam Long Could Be An Easy Fade This Week

Adam Long had an excellent fall swing. After Oct. 10, Long had four straight top-25s. At The Houston Open, Long finished 11th while gaining 5.2 strokes from tee to green. Long carried that performance over to a top-20 at the RSM Classic. Long is an excellent Bermuda putter, which is why it is surprising he […]

James Washington Remains On COVID List

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver James Washington (illness) remains on the COVID-19 list as of Wednesday.

Najee Harris Dealing With Elbow Injury

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris (elbow) is dealing with an elbow injury that is expected to "slow him in the early portion of the week," per coach Mike Tomlin. In the Week 17 overtime win over the Baltimore Ravens, he initially hurt his elbow. This week, the Steelers rookie will most likely be limited […]

Adam Thielen Recovering Well After Ankle Surgery

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (ankle) is recovering well from ankle surgery and expects to be ready by Spring workouts. He missed the season's final two games and underwent ankle surgery in late December. The 31-year-old finished with 67 receptions for 726 yards and ten touchdowns over 13 games in 2021. "Feel great," Thielen […]

Corey Conners Will Likely Contend At Sony Open

Corey Conners has two top-15 finishes in three starts at Waialae. Conners ranks 10th in the field in strokes-gained at this event. What is very enticing is his putting statistics at The Sony. Conners is not known as a great putter, but at Waialae he ranks eighth in the field in putting. Conners will likely […]

Joel Dahmen Has High Upside At The Sony Open

Last year, Joel Dahmen finished 12th at The Sony Open, gaining 6.2 strokes overall. While Dahmen didn't blow anyone away at Kapalua last week, he did gain strokes off the tee and on approach. Dahmen had a good showing this fall, highlighted by a fifth-place finish at The Houston Open. Dahmen could fly under the […]

Keegan Bradley Looking For Form In Hawaii

It was a rather pedestrian 2021 season for Keegan Bradley, with the highlights being a second-place finish at the Valspar Championship in March and a T7 finish at the Zozo Championship in October. The 87th-ranked player in the world last teed it up at The RSM Classic, where he missed the cut. The 35-year-old has […]

Christiaan Bezuidenhout Should Fit Nicely At Waialae

Christiaan Bezuidenhout will take on Waialae Country Club for the first time this week. The South African is an excellent Bermuda putter, which should lead to success this week. Bezuidenhout had a mixed bag over the fall swing, finishing 15th at Mayakoba and with a missed cut at The Houston Open. Bezuidenhout is underpriced across […]

Does Brendan Steele Have It At The Sony Open?

While this is only Brendan Steele's fourth appearance at Waialae Country Club, he finished second and fourth the past two years. Fantasy gamers who decide to play the No. 102 golfer in the world this week will mainly be focused on that recent course form. The 38-year-old had an up-and-down season last year with just […]

Harris English Slumping Ahead Of Another Hawaii Event

Harris English finished near the bottom of the pack in both position and strokes gained from tee to green at the Sentry Tournament of Champions last week. Despite a career resurgence that has him up to No. 14 in the world rankings, the American remains a risky play this week after a fall season that […]

Seamus Power A Good Bet This Week

The 34-year-old Seamus Power found unbelievable form in the second half of 2021, including a win at the Barbasol Championship. That momentum continued last week with a respectable T15 finish in a loaded field at Kapalua. However, the Irishman has not taken an immediate liking to Waialae Country Club with two missed cuts and a […]

Billy Horschel Overvalued At Sony Open

Billy Horschel has played the Sony Open twice since 2017. In those two starts, he has a seventh- and 68th-place finish. While he played well last year, his game heading into this week may not be in top form. Horschel lost 8.4 strokes on approach last week. What kept him in the tournament were the […]

Denny McCarthy Looks To Continue Momentum

Denny McCarthy, who is ranked No. 179 in the world, is set for his first look at Waialae Country Club this week. The 28-year-old capped off a great fall swing with top-15 finishes in his last three events. Fantasy gamers last saw the American tee it up at The RSM Classic in November of last […]

Jameson Williams Suffers Torn ACL

Alabama wide receiver Jameson Williams (knee), who is the projected top receiver in the 2022 NFL draft, tore his ACL in the College Football National Championship against Georgia on Monday night, according to sources. Doctors think that Williams will retain his sub-4.3-second speed and expect him to make a full recovery after he has surgery […]

Abraham Ancer Could Be A Fade At Sony Open

Abraham Ancer lost 9.1 strokes gained last week at Kapalua. His course history at The Sony Open does not instill much confidence, either. In four starts at The Sony, Ancer has two missed cuts and has not finished better than 29th. Outside of not being a great Bermuda putter, Ancer does have the type of […]
