The season’s first full field event on the PGA Tour gets underway this week in Honolulu, Hawaii when Waialae Country Club hosts the 2016 Sony Open in Hawaii.
Jimmy Walker +1411 looks to win for the third consecutive year and is the betting favorite. Joining Walker in the field include Adam Scott +2228, Zach Johnson +2544 and world No. 16 Kevin Kisner +2042.
Other notable players scheduled to compete include Daniel Berger +3842, Justin Thomas +2336, Emiliano Grillo +4844, Keegan Bradley +6037 and Graeme McDowell +4010.

ODDS ANALYSIS
Do you remember the TV show Good Times? If you do, you remember the name Jimmy Walker. Well golfer Jimmy Walker +1411 plays “Dyno-Mite” in the Aloha state and if he makes some putts, look out, Walker can win this week for the third year in a row. He struggled with his putting last week at Kapalua but he was striping the ball with consistency and will play well at a place where he has had “Good Times.”
Luke Donald +6950 once was the No. 1 ranked player in the world and has struggled in recent years to find his form and almost retired from the game a year ago. The Englishman is in good spirits and looking to find his game. He worked hard in the off season, has a new attitude and will have a bounce back year starting this week in Hawaii.
Although Charles Howell III +4010 has never won at Waialae, he has seven top 5’s and is looking for more this week. Howell III is getting up there in age and needs to get off to a fast start in 2016 to gain confidence and think that he can still win on the PGA Tour.
