Si Woo Kim looks to defend his title when the 2024 Sony Open in Hawaii tees off on Thursday at at Waialae Country Club in Honolulu. Kim is one of the more accomplished golfers in the 2024 Sony Open field, but is listed as a 45-1 long shot to defend his title. Ludvig Åberg (12-1) is the betting favorite in the latest 2024 Sony Open odds, followed by Tyrrell Hatton (16-1), Fitzpatrick (16-1), Russell Henley (22-1), Brian Harman (25-1), and Zalatoris (30-1). The 2024 Sony Open purse is $8.3 million with the winner's share listed as $1.494 million.
With this being the first week for most One and Done pools, it is critical to get off to a fast start to the season. Would this be a good week to back a long shot like Hideki Matsuyama (45-1), Keegan Bradley (75-1), or Gary Woodland (90-1)? Or would it make sense to pick on of the Sony Open top contenders?Before locking in your 2024 Sony Open one and done picks, you need to see what SportsLine DFS pro and PGA expert Mike McClure has to say.
The One and Done format is growing in popularity. It has several noticeable similarities to NFL Survivor pools, with the main difference being entries are not eliminated with a bad week. Players pick one golfer per week and earn points based on their selected golfer's prize money for that tournament. Golfers can only be used once per season, and the point format makes nailing majors and big money tournaments critical.
McClure is a DFS legend with over $2 million in career winnings, and he's been red-hot on his PGA picks dating back to the PGA Tour restart in June of 2020. McClure uses his proprietary simulation model to analyze the field and crush his golf picks.
McClure nailed plenty of One and Done picks in 2023. At the 2023 Farmers Insurance Open, McClure's top One and Done pick, Max Homa, outlasted the entire field to take home his sixth career PGA Tour victory and $1.566 million. At the WM Phoenix Open, McClure nailed Scheffler winning the tournament, taking home $3.6 million.
He correctly called Jon Rahm's wins at The Masters and the Sentry Tournament of Champions. Then at the RBC Canadian Open McClure listed Nick Taylor and Tyrrell Hatton as two of his top one and done picks. Taylor would go on to win the tournament, while Hatton finished in third place! And finally, at the Rocket Mortgage Classic, his top OAD pick was eventual tournament champion Rickie Fowler.
Now, McClure has dialed in on the 2024 Sony Open golf tournament and just locked in his one and done picks and PGA predictions. They are a must-see for any player looking for an edge in their One and Done pool. You can only see McClure's Sony Open one and done picks at SportsLine.
Top 2024 Sony Open One and Done picks
One of McClure's favorite 2024 Sony Open one and done picks is 27-year-old Will Zalatoris. The former Wake Forest standout established himself as one of the premier golfers in the world in 2022, notching his first career win at the FedEx St. Jude Championship and coming in second at the PGA Championship and U.S. Open. He also finished in second place at the 2021 Masters, but missed most of 2023 with a back injury.
In 2022, Zalatoris' last full season of playing on the PGA Tour, the world No. 43 was elite in several key metrics. He finished 2022, ranked first on the PGA Tour in both strokes gained tee-to-green (1,770) and strokes Gaines on approach (1.063), third in total strokes gained (1.767), and 11th in strokes gained off-the-tee (0.602). As one of the most talented overall players in the Sony Open field, McClure sees huge value in backing Zalatoris this week at Waialae Country Club. You can see who else to back at SportsLine.
