It’s time for the first full field event of 2022 and the PGA Tour is still in paradise for the Sony Open in Hawaii at Waialae Country Club. Last week’s winner Cameron Smith is in the field and has entered as the betting favorite at +1000. Smith won this event back in 2020.
Kevin Na is the defending champion, coming off a solid performance at the Sentry Tournament of Champions where he finished T-13.
Waialae is the polar opposite to last week’s Plantation Course as it plays tight, with small greens, and substantially shorter yardage at just over 7,000 yards. The par 70 layout was originally designed by Seth Raynor before being restored recently by Tom Doak (2017).
