Favorites Jordan Spieth and Tom Kim, who are part of a 19-man team making the leap from Maui to Oahu, are popular picks for early golf betting ahead the Sony Open in Hawaii. Although it is a good idea to play the week before the Sony Open, Hawaii, it will be an entirely different test than the Sentry Tournament of Champions last week. It’s the 2023 full-field event (144 players). Waialae Country Club, on the other hand, is a completely different course from The Plantation Course. It was a birdie-fest at Kapalua last week with wide fairways that reward the longer hitters. The course will be tighter this week in Honolulu. However, the scores won’t be as low. Plantation Course plays to 7,596 yards. Waialae Country Club plays to 7,044 yards. Five of the six previous winners at Waialae were there the week before. Over the past six years, 73% of players who participated in the Sentry Tournament of Champions have made it to the Sony Open in Hawaii. How have bettors responded this week? The two most popular players at BetMGM’s online sportsbook are Jordan Spieth (+600) and Tom Kim (+100). Spieth is the first in tickets (10.2%), and handle (16.2%), while Kim ranks second in tickets (10.1%), and handle (14%). Kim has the lowest odds of winning, while Spieth is third. Kim will make his tournament debut. Spieth hasn’t been to the Sony Open in Hawaii in over a year. He missed the cut in 2019. Spieth was third in 2017, his best finish at this event. Both players had strong weeks at Kapalua. Kim finished T-5, while Spieth finished T-13.

He won T-21 last week. Russell Henley (+2200), is another popular choice, considering his past performance at the event. Henley lost to Matsuyama in a playoff last year and won the event in 2013.
