The 2025 season kicks off in earnest with the two-week swing in Hawaii headed by The Sentry, featuring most of the stars of the PGA Tour.
Best Bet
Class player who finished last season in super form and if he carries that over he will be right in the mix here. This tournament is essentially a putting contest and Burns is an elite putter. He ranks 2nd in Putting Average and 4th in Birdie or Better and that is perfect for here.
Mid-Tier Bet
Major winners have a great record in this event and suspect Hideki is up for a big tournament here. Matsuyama is not a statistically great putter but when he gets hot with the flat stick, he is very hard to hold out. Ranks 2nd in Scrambling, 3rd in Strokes Gained: Tee To Green and 14th in Par 4 Scoring. Big chance.
Value Bet
Top quality putter who is always in the mix in these glorified putting contests. Ranks 4th in Strokes Gained: Putting and 12th in Putting Average. Looks a nice Top 10 play.
Longshot Bet
Ranks 6th in Par 4 Scoring and 14th in Birdie or Better. Also finished Top 15 in the Sony Open last year. Looks huge overs.
