2019 Sony Open First Round Leader Odds

For the purposes of these props let’s choose a strong value bet and then a slightly off the board pick.

At those odds Marc Leishman presents the best value. He finished T-4 last week, second in the Australian PGA and won the CIMB Classic in October.

As for a more dark horse candidate, you can get Abraham Ancer at +5000. He won the Emirates Australian Open in November and also had two top five finishes on the PGA Tour late last year.

Hard to argue with Bryson DeChambeau here. He has three wins in his last seven tournaments and nothing worse than a 19th place finish during that span and he finished seventh last week at Kapalua.

One particular rule change really bothers Bryson. https://t.co/mBjUVlfVqY

A tremendous value bet here is Charles Howell III at +600 which you can get on both sites. He finally won in November after an 11-year winless drought but most importantly has two seconds, two thirds, and two fourths at this tournament in his career. Never missed the cut in 17 tries at Waialae.

2019 Sony Open Top-10 Finish Odds

*Follow the link in the table to see all options
There is unsurprisingly zero value in picking the top guys to finish in the top 10 so let’s go for a couple longer shots. First off is Kevin Tway at +500. He was the first round leader last week before ultimately just finishing outside the top 10 (11th.) He recorded his first career PGA Tour victory in October.

The most tantalizing dark horse is grizzled veteran Jerry Kelly, who won his first tour event at Waialae way back in 2002. He’s at +1400, but has three top ten finishes (3rd, 6th, 9th) in the last five years here (to go along with a 14th place finish and one missed cut.) He won twice on the Champions Tour last season as well. If you’re feeling extra brave Kelly is +2500 for a top five finish.
