What to Expect
The Sony Open at Waialae presents a stark contrast to the Plantation Course at Kapalua, with a premium on accuracy and precision rather than power. Its narrow fairways and small greens demand players bring their sharpest iron play and putting.
Key players to watch:
- Hideki Matsuyama: A former champion here, Matsuyama thrives in these conditions and enters as the favorite.
- Corey Conners: Known for his ball-striking, Conners could excel on Waialae’s tight layout.
- Tom Kim: One of the rising stars on tour, Kim’s precision game makes him a strong contender.
