The first tournament of 2023 takes place in Hawaii with the annual limited field Tournament of Champions.
Best Bet
Thomas has a good record in Hawaii and that is a plus. Led the PGA Tour in Par 4 Scoring last season while he ranks Top 3 in Birdie or Better, Strokes Gained: Tee To Green and Putting Average. Fancy JT is in for a monster year.
Mid-Tier Bet
Tremendous ball striker and that is arguably the key quality to have here. Ranks 3rd in Ball Striking and 9th in GIR. Great short game too ranking 5th in Scrambling and 12th in Strokes Gained: Around The Green. Perfect game for here.
Value Bet
Lovely player on the up who is as good as anyone when tuned up. The best putter in the field on Bermuda and his putting stats are outstanding ranking Top 10 in Birdie or Better, Putting Average and Strokes Gained Putting. Finished 19th on debut here last year, a good effort as this is not a course for debutants.
Longshot Bet
Veteran who was very good last season. Finished Top 11 in the last two Sony Opens including a second last year. Ranks 6th in Ball Striking and 11th in Birdie or Better so has the game to succeed here.
