2023 Sony Open picks, odds, Fantasy golf power rankings: PGA Tour predictions and best bets from top golf expert
The PGA Tour remains in Hawaii this week for the first full-field tournament of the year, the 2023 Sony Open at Waialae Country Club in Honolulu. Jordan Spieth, Tom Kim and defending champion Hideki Matsuyama are among the 19 players heading over from Kapalua after last week's Sentry Tournament of Champions. Matsuyama beat Russell Henley with an eagle on the first hole of the playoff last year after both finished 23 under par.Â
Kim, a two-time PGA Tour winner at age 20, is the 11-1 favorite in the latest 2023 Sony Open odds from Caesars Sportsbook. Sungjae Im (12-1) is close behind, followed by Matsuyama (15-1). Eight players are shorter than 30-1 in the Sony Open 2023 field, including Spieth (16-1), Corey Conners (20-1) and Henley (22-1). Kim, Im, Matsuyama and Spieth are the highest-priced golfers in the Fantasy rankings at DraftKings, all coming in over $10,000. Â Â
Which players can you trust for your Sony Open 2023 fantasy golf picks? Before you bet the 2023 Sony Open or lock in any Fantasy golf lineups, you NEED to see the 2023 Sony Open Fantasy golf rankings from Fantasy expert Jim Holliman.
Holliman has been a writer and editor for nearly 25 years and has been playing and following the game closely for more than three decades. The Florida-based writer knows what it takes to win on the PGA Tour and how the players' games fit the courses.
The golf expert NAILED the Tour Championship, saying Rory McIlroy was the only player capable of making up a six-stroke deficit to get past Scottie Scheffler. "He has a lot of ground to make up," Holliman said, "but he is the most well-rounded player in this field, so if anyone can do it, he can." The Northern Irishman was actually down by 10 through two holes Sunday but stormed back to claim the title. Â Â
Holliman also had Cantlay (14-1) among his best bets at the BMW Championship, was behind Will Zalatoris (28-1) at the St. Jude and also NAILED the Wyndham Championship, with Tom Kim (35-1) among his selections. "It's a matter of when (not if) he gets his first on the PGA Tour," Holliman said of Kim. It turned out to be at Sedgfield, where the 20-year-old won by five strokes.
The expert also has had a knack for finding the longshots. At the St. Jude, as many top stars went home early, 200-1 shot Chez Reavie made the weekend. At the 3M Open, the expert tabbed Emiliano Grillo (50-1) as a contender before the Argentinian finished T-2. And before the PGA, he touted Cameron Young (65-1) before his T-3 finish. Anyone who has followed Holliman's predictions is WAY UP on their golf picks.
Now, Holliman has ranked his top players for the 2023 Sony Open, and we can tell you the expert is strongly backing Kim. The South Korean rising star is a perfect fit for the course, as he always hits it straight, and he knows how to win.Â
On the other hand, Holliman is fading Matsuyama, even though he's the defending champ. The 2021 Masters champ hasn't been in good form, and aside from his win last year he doesn't have a solid track record at Waialae.Â
Instead, Holliman is backing a sleeper for fantasy rosters who is priced at less than $7,500 at DraftKings and has odds higher than 70-1 to win at Caesars! This golfer hasn't missed a cut all season and is due for a breakthrough victory, and it could come this week! Holliman will be banking on this golfer heavily in his Sony Open 2023 Fantasy golf picks.Â
