The 2020-21 PGA Tour season continues with the first full-field event of the new year this week. The 2021 Sony Open is the second and final week of the Hawaii swing and over 140 players will tee it up at Waialae Country Club in Honolulu, Hawaii. Fresh off a win last week at the Sentry Tournament of Champions, Harris English is listed at 16-1 in the latest 2021 Sony Open odds from William Hill Sportsbook.
Webb Simpson finished third at the Sony Open a season ago and is ranked sixth in the Official World Golf Ranking and he's a 14-1 co-favorite with Collin Morikawa in the latest PGA Tour odds. Daniel Berger (20-1), Sungjae Im (22-1), Hideki Matsuyama (22-1) and defending champion Cameron Smith (28-1) are all among Sony Open 2021 contenders as well. But before you make your 2021 Sony Open picks, be sure to see the latest golf predictions and projected leaderboard from the proven computer model at SportsLine.
SportsLine's prediction model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has been on fire since the return of the PGA Tour in June. In fact, it's up over $13,500 on its best bets since the restart, nailing tournament after tournament.
In the final standard PGA event of 2020, McClure nailed Viktor Hovland's win at +2500 in his best bets. That was one of many huge calls he made last year. After nailing Sergio Garcia (+5500) finishing on top of the leaderboard at the Sanderson Farms Championship, McClure finished up over $6,200 yet again on his best bets. The model had him in the top five from the start and McClure's best bets included Garcia winning outright. Those who followed that advice saw a massive +5500 return.
He also finished profitable at the U.S. Open, nailing two of his best bets, including a +1100 top-five bet on Matthew Wolff. McClure hit a top-five bet (+1200) on Doc Redman at the Wyndham Championship, finishing up over $700 on his best bets. Those are just some of his recent big returns.
In all, the advanced computer model has also nailed a whopping six majors entering the weekend. Anyone who has followed its golf picks has seen massive returns.
Now that the 2021 Sony Open field is locked, SportsLine simulated the event 10,000 times, and the results were surprising. Head to SportsLine now to see the projected leaderboard.
The model's top 2021 Sony Open predictions
One huge shocker the model is calling for at the Sony Open 2021: Collin Morikawa, one of the favorites at 14-1, barely cracks the top five. Morikawa was one of the hottest players on tour last season, capping that run by winning the 2020 PGA Championship in August. He finished a respectable T-7 last week at the Sentry Tournament of Champions, but he's failed to crack the top-40 in four of his last six starts on the PGA Tour.
Morikawa's inconsistent performances can be directly attributed to his putting. The 23-year-old enters this week's event ranked 231st in total putting (371.4), 220th in strokes gained: putting (-.753) and 125th in overall putting average (1.619), which doesn't bode well for his chances to finish on top of the leaderboard this week. He's not a strong pick to win it all and there are far better values in the Sony Open 2021 field.
Another surprise: Sergio Garcia, a massive 40-1 long shot, makes a strong run at the title. He has a much better chance to win it all than his odds imply, so he's one of the 2021 Sony Open picks you should be all over. The 2017 Masters champion and 11-time PGA Tour winner is currently 45th in the Official World Golf Ranking, but he's played well of late.
Garcia won the Sanderson Farms Championship in October and had a solid showing last week at Kapalua with a T-11th finish at the Sentry Tournament of Champions. Garcia will be making his first trip to the Sony Open since 2003, but he did make the cut both times that he's played the event and he's been driving the ball exceptionally (fourth in strokes gained: off-the-tee). That should be a huge advantage this week at Waialae Country Club, which is much tighter and flatter than last week at Kapalua.
How to make 2021 Sony Open picks
Also, the model is targeting four other golfers with odds of 22-1 or higher to make a strong run at the title. Anyone who backs these underdogs could hit it big. You can only see them here.
