As we head to the second leg of the PGA Tour’s Hawaii swing, Webb Simpson sits as the favorite to take home the title at the Sony Open. The No. 6-ranked player in the world has 12/1 odds to win this week according to golfodds.com.
Simpson has played the Sony Open 10 times in his career, with last year’s solo third finish representing the high-water mark. The 35-year-old has been in peak form over the last 18 months, two wins in that span and missing just two cuts.
The Tour’s most recent winner, Harris English, has the second-best odds at 14/1, and he is joined by Collin Morikawa. English will be making his ninth start at the Sony Open this week, while the 23-year-old Morikawa makes his second appearance.
Rounding out the top five is a revamped Daniel Berger and the always-steady Sungjae Im at 16/1 odds. Check out odds for the entire field below.
