Sony Open

Golfers I Am Overweight On

Justin Thomas and Gary Woodland – There’s a clear duo at the top for me in this event with Thomas and Woodland, as I don’t really like a lot of the other high-end players a ton. Thomas is a former champion of this event that seems to be the class of this field, while Woodland has been playing great golf for almost a full year now. You can even make an argument that Woodland could be considered as the top option. Some people might make the argument to fade Woodland after he “lost” the Tournament of Champions last Sunday, but that had absolutely nothing to do with Woodland’s performance. After all, he had a three shot lead heading into Sunday and shot a final round of five under par. In addition, he didn’t make a single bogey in that final round and hit all but one green in regulation. He simply got beaten by a ridiculously hot (and somewhat lucky) round by Xander Schauffele. Woodland did not choke, and he has four straight top 15 finishes at this event. I’ll rank them as Thomas #1 and Woodland #2, but I will be happy with either one as a first round pick on DRAFT.
