This article analyzes the top contenders for the upcoming Sony Open, highlighting players with recent strong performances and favorable history at Waialae Country Club.
Taylor Pendrith has strung together a handful of quality results, and our Sony Open picks expect more of the same at Waialae this week. Hideki Matsuyama will look to make it consecutive wins to start the 2025 PGA Tour season, and he’s the betting favorite. Russell Henley has a Top-5 finish in two of his past three trips to Waialae Country Club and won the 2013 edition for his first PGA Tour victory.
He’s also played the weekend in 14 consecutive events and ranks seventh in this field in true strokes gained tee-to-green, eighth on approach, and fourth in driving accuracy. He's gained true strokes across the board and has five Top 10s during the heater, too.The Scot has been playing well, and he’s been playing a lot. Robert MacIntyre has rattled off eight consecutive Top 20s, which includes a solid T15 last week at The Sentry. He’s gained true strokes across the board during the eight-tournament run, including impressively ranking sixth from tee to green. This will also be MacIntyre’s second go at Waialae Country Club, and after an opening-round 71 last year, he played his final three rounds at 8-under while gaining true strokes on approach and on the greens in each.Maverick McNealy followed up his first PGA Tour win at the RSM Classic with a T8 last week at The Sentry, and he’s been on a nice four-tournament run with another T6 and T17 in November. Add gaining an average of +2.05 true strokes tee-to-green and +1.31 on approach on the field the past two events, and I’m anticipating another strong showing rom the 29-year-old American. Of course, he's also flashed at Waialae Country Club with a T7 in 2023, and he’s also 12th in this field in true strokes gained putting across his past 124 measured rounds. His ball-striking form and calling-card work with the putter pair nicely this week.Another rolling player with a recent win, Taylor Pendrith has carded eight straight Top 25s, and he posted a T10 in his second trip to Waialae Country Club last Januar
