Sony Open 2021 – PGA DFS w/ Billy Brisbane (@gettin_BILLs_) 

Notes from 2020 

“- Last six winners of the Sony Open have played the week previous at the Tournament of Champions. Favor players that experienced the high Hawaii winds. Fairly easy course need to have a hot putter and irons to win. Bermuda greens” 

Highlighted Plays:

Webb Simpson

One of the most consistent players on tour, he has won 2 tournaments and 8 top 10 finishes over his last 19 starts. In his last four appearances at Waialae he has finished T13 or better. And if you remember last year he lost a playoff here this a perfect course setup and opportunity to start off hot in 2021. It’ll be interesting to see if the field will go up and pay for the highest price player on the slate but this week I’m looking for leverage course history, and recent form. 

Sungjae Im  

One thing I’m looking for is to go to players who looked pretty well in last week’s tournament. I like the floor and the ceiling Sungjae gives at this price and betting markets. If you’re worried about paying up for Webb in cash, I would start my lineups with Sungjae Im. This is a good buy low window for one of those most upcoming talents on tour.  I was impressed by his Masters performance,last week a T5 and led the field in strokes tee to green (very important stat for this week). 

Carlos Ortiz 

One of my favorite players on tour, and recent form besides last week has been great, I wouldn’t be surprised if Ortiz creeps up into the 8K range soon on Draftkings. Two starts ago he won at the Houston Open, then followed up at Mayakoba with a T8. The 29 year old is turning the corner and entering his prime, people will overlook Ortiz here due to his modest performance last, making him one of my favorite GPP plays.
