Aloha bitches!!!
Starting this year, they have also invited anyone else who made the Tour Championship as well.
Everyone who qualified except for Rory McIlroy has elected to play, which is a bit peculiar.
Especially given that this is one of the newly minted “elevated” events on Tour.
That’s his prerogative.
This tournament is one of the great birdiefests on Tour.
I’ll get into why shortly, but last year’s event in particular was out of control.
I’ll let this drone footage do my talking for me.
In fact, this course has more fairways hit than any on Tour.
It’s a resort course after all.
We’re looking at a ton of drivers and wedges here folks.
Best Hole - The 677 yard Par 5 18th
Cliff Hawkins.
The wind will be there, but nothing too crazy.
Another formula for low scores.
Love the Hawaii Swing for this.
Nothing like coming home from the office and having live golf on the tube.
Great mix for the casuals.
The Trophy
It’s… just a dolphin looking thing?
Hey I’m on record as saying I’m all for the weird looking trophies on Tour.
With that said, this trophy leaves a lot to be desired.
The Board
Jon Rahm is at the top of the board this year at +650 at theBarstool Sportsbook.
Something to monitor as the tournament start approaches.
I thinkJustin Thomasis a bit undervalued here at+1100.
He’s my pick.
JT has that throw in of talent and he’s shown it here before.
So roll with JT and ask questions later.
Other Plays
JT Top 5 +200- Love this too.
Maybe this is the week.
Maybe this is the year.
We’re all excited to see what the kid has for an encore after an electric 2022.
I like the angle of talented, accomplished guys motivated for bounceback years in this spot.
Hawaii vibes gotta be worth something, right?
Guy hits bombs now and should be in the +275/+300 range with some of the big guns.
That’s all I got.
