This year&#8217;s tour didn&#8217;t include the Sentry Tournament due to course conditions, meaning that the Hawaii Swing will feature just this one stop in 2026, with its future uncertain.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The latest 2026 Sony Open in Hawaii odds from DraftKings Sportsbook lists Russell Henley as the +1100 favorite (risk $100 to win $1,100). Other top contenders include Ben Griffin (+1300), Hideki Matsuyama (+1700) and Collin Morikawa (+1700).<\/p>\n<p>Before locking in your 2026 Sony Open picks, you NEED to see the golf prediction and projected leaderboard from the proven computer model at SportsLine.<\/p>\n<p>Our proprietary model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has been red-hot since the PGA Tour resumed in June of 2020. In fact,\u00a0the model is up over $8,000 on its best bets since June 2020, nailing tournament after tournament.<\/p>\n<p>Now, with the 2026 Sony Open field locked in, SportsLine simulated the tournament 10,000 times, and the results were surprising.<\/p>\n<p>One major surprise the model is calling for at the Sony Open: Russell Henley, the favorite, stumbles barely finishes in the top 5! Another surprise: J.J. Spaun, a 19-1 longshot, makes a strong run at the title.   He&#8217;s a target for anyone looking for a HUGE payday!<\/p>\n<p>The model has also identified three golfers with odds of +2500 or longer as top-10 contenders! Anyone who backs these golfers could hit it BIG. You ABSOLUTELY need to see who they are before locking in any 2026 Sony Open picks!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The 2026 PGA Tour season tees off a week later than originally scheduled with the 2026 Sony Open&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":400477,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[71],"tags":[427,99],"class_list":{"0":"post-400476","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-golf","8":"tag-golf","9":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/400476","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=400476"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/400476\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/400477"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=400476"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=400476"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=400476"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
