Expert Guide to Betting PGA Majors


The Waialae Country Club was designed by Seth Raynor and opened in 1927 and offers players a scenic view from almost anywhere on the course! Several of the holes are based on famed holes from around the world.

The No. 10 hole has features pulled from No. 17 at St. Andrews in Scotland while No. 8 is patterned after the Redan hole at the North Berwick Golf Club; also in Scotland.

The course takes advantage of some of the flatter terrain near the shore as well as some of the rolling terrain on the more inland holes. Overall, the links are relatively flat will only minor elevation changes.

Hazards range from ponds, creeks, coastline, and multiple bunkers. The fairways are guarded lightly by trees and a few native growth areas. The perfectly manicured greens – running from medium to large by PGA standards – are Bermuda with the fairways being Winter ryegrass Waialae can lure players into a false sense of security because of its wide-open look and downhome country club feel. But the course has some rather large bunkers that can swallow up wayward shots off the tee or during the approach.


2021 PGA Sony Open Predictions


Harris English +1600

Harris English has been playing great golf as of late and won the Tournament of Champions last week. Plus, he’s finished with three top-tens at Waialae. English Also finished 4th at the U.S. Open and T5 at the Mayakoba Golf Classic two weeks ago. The former Georgia Bulldog is No. 2 in FedEx points and jumped to No. 29th on the Official World Golf Rankings (OWGR) list.

Webb Simpson +1200

Webb Simpson comes in at +1200 – he finished third here in 2020. The season prior, he finished T4 at Waialae. Like English, his playing style should lend itself to Waialae. Simpson has been a bit inconsistent over the last year but seems to be dialing things back in. In his last six tournaments, he has finished 20th or better five times going T8, T13, T17, T10, and a T37 at the RSM Classic before carding a T17 last week at the Tournament of Champions.

Sungjae Im +2000

Sungjae Im at +2000 is a bit surprising as I would have thought he would have closer to Simpson and English. Im has been near the top of the leader board many times during the last year and finished off last week with a T5 run. He led the field in strokes gained as well. He has played some great rounds at Waialae but needs to put four good rounds in a row to finally win at the course.

Others I Like: I’ll probably hate myself for not putting Collin Morikawa (+1400) higher on my list this week. He won twice this year including a Major. Takumi Kanaya (+15000) turned pro last season and went on to win the Japan Dunlop Phoenix. Kanaya is a young golfer that should be able to attack a course like Waialae.
