2024 Sony Open in Hawaii Top Pick

The 2023 rookie didn’t have a great start to his second season on the PGA Tour. As one of the favorites to win the Sentry Championship, Aberg bombed, finishing a tied forty-seventh.

Ah, but he forty-seventh had a lot to do with that ridiculous 77 Aberg shot in the third round. If not for that, Aberg may have finished in the top ten or even top 5. The first choice to win the Sony Open followed up the 77 with a 63. If 63 Aberg shows up, he can lift the trophy.

2024 Sony Open in Hawaii Second Pick

Henley also didn’t play well at the Sentry. Before the Sentry, Henley had been playing great, though.

The +2200 choice finished put together four straight finishers of fourteenth or better to end the 2023 FedEx Cup Season. Henley finished fourteenth at the TOUR Championship.

For sure, Henley could bomb big time this week. Or he could do enough to turn around the terrible Sentry form and end up in the last pairing on Sunday.

2024 Sony Open in Hawaii Third Pick

Chris Kirk dominated the course at Kapalua Resort. Kirk entered the Sentry an underdog. He left a -29 trophy winner.

Kirk’s four days impress big time: 67-65-66-65. If you believe hot sticks can stay hot, for sure check out Kirk. Know, though, that he didn’t shoot anything close to what he did at the Sentry in 2023.

2024 Sony Open in Hawaii Underdog Pick

The favorite shouldn’t be a 45-to-1 shot. Si Woo Kim didn’t just win the 2023 Sony Open and then disappear. He had moments where he played excellent golf, like when finishing second at the AT&T Byron Nelson and signing a fourth place card at the Memorial.

Also, Kim finished twenty-fifth at the Sentry Championship. For sure, Si Woo can build upon the finish. At the odds, Kim is worth a look.
