Event Preview
The Sony Open will be staged in Hawaii this weekend. It has been competed in this winter spot since 1971, and it is typically an event when some of the biggest stars emerge from their winter break. There have been some historic moments at this event, including in 1983 when Isao Aoki became the first Japanese winner on the PGA Tour.
Justin Thomas holds the aggregate record at the Sony Open, as the U.S. star finished with a score of 253 when winning the event in 2017. Meanwhile, the par record is held by John Huston, who finished 28-under when landing victory in 1998. Kim Si-Woo is the defending champion coming into the 2024 event this weekend.

Ludvig Aberg looks a great bet to win a maiden major this season, as the Swede looks to be one of the more progressive players on the PGA Tour. He returned to action in The Sentry last weekend, but he could only finish in a tie for 47th. However, he was excellent across the final day, shooting ten-under to climb up the rankings.
Chris Kirk could have an excellent chance this weekend after returning to form with a stunning display at The Sentry last weekend, The American shot 29-under to finish a shot clear of the field. Brian Harman and J.T. Poston also enjoyed excellent rounds last weekend and shouldn’t be overlooked at the current prices available.
Sony Open Prediction
It could be a crucial angle to consider that players with recent playing experience have performed well at the Sony Open. Therefore, it could be worth taking a chance on Corey Conners. The Canadian dipped out of contention last weekend to finish in a tie for 33rd, but he could go much better this weekend.
