Chris Gotterup won the 2026 Sony Open in Hawaii at 16 under par at Waialae Country Club in Honolulu, two shots ahead of Ryan Gerard, on January 18, 2026.

Betting PGA Tour events
A tournament-winner price is a chance written as a payout: +1000 implies 9.1%, +2500 implies 3.8% and +5000 implies 2%. A bet is worth making only when you rate a player’s chance higher than the price does. Top-10 and top-20 markets let you back a player without needing him to win outright, and two of the last three Sony Opens were decided in a playoff.
