A look at the Sony Open in Hawaii

January 9, 2023 Thomas Hawley Uncategorized

I love this place!

Entrants ranked on history in the event. The value reflects the player’s success and number of years competed within the last eight years, weighted in favor of more recent seasons. A value of 1.000 would mean the player appeared every year and won every time. A value of about .715 puts the player in the top 1 percent of all players who have played the event at least once in the last eight seasons, a value of .335 puts a player in the top 10 percent.

Sony Open in Hawaii Power Ratings

January 9, 2023 Thomas Hawley Picks, U.S. Events

Is there any reason to think that players who got their year started in the Sentry Tournament of Champions have an edge the next week in the Sony Open in Hawaii? It doesn’t appear so. Over the last eight years, considering players who finished in the top three of the Champions event, only six backed it up with a top-10 finish in the Sony, the last being Joaquin Niemann in 2021; he made the top three both times. Of those who finished in the top three at the Champions over the last eight years, about 20 percent finished in the top 10 at the Sony, 20 percent made the Sony cut, 20 percent missed the Sony cut, and 40 percent took the week off.

This week we have 20-year-old Korean Tom Kim, already the winner of two PGA Tour events (Wyndham last August and Shriners last October), as favorite in the Sony. He’s a narrow choice over Brian Harman and rookie Taylor Montgomery. Kim has been a phenom since mid-summer 2022, with five other top-10s to go with the two wins. The most recent of these was a fifth last week. Two rookies who are off to good starts and in the Sony field are Montgomery and Ben Griffin.

The accuracy number for these picks is 114. The average is 165. (An accuracy number of 1000 would indicate a perfect set of picks from first place through 16th.)

Players are listed in order of preference. The Power Number reflects the player’s Hawley Rating, fit for the course, past performance in this event, and recent performance in tour events. Observed Odds is the frequency that a player actually wins the event, given the listed Power Number and its margin behind the favorite. This differs from betting odds, which reflect take-out by the sports book and sentiment of the public. Course fit reflects the player’s statistical profile in relationship to the statistical profile of players who have been successful on this course in recent events.

Sentry Tournament of Champions Power Ratings

January 2, 2023 Thomas Hawley Picks, U.S. Events

Usually in this event, it is a valid strategy to pick a guy from the southern hemisphere, on the theory that it’s early summer down there and possibly the guy is in something like mid-season form. That idea won’t work for this week’s Sentry Tournament of Champions on Maui in Hawaii: A quick check of player residences indicates that Justin Thomas of Jupiter FL has the southern-most residence in the field. Thomas won this event in 2017 and 2020, so perhaps he’s not a bad bet.

Patrick Cantlay was trending up when he played his final event of 2022, the Shriners, in the second weekend of October. He was runner-up to Tom Kim in that one. Xander Schauffele was in the top 10 both of his last two events, fourth in the World Challenge in December and ninth in the Zozo in October. Scottie Scheffler looks like a good choice based on his fit for the course. He ranks just outside the top 10 percent of U.S./ Euro players in shots gained in approach and putts per green in regulation, the two stats that correlate most strongly with success on the Plantation Course.

The accuracy number for these picks is 225. The average is 165. (An accuracy number of 1000 would indicate a perfect set of picks from first place through 16th.)

Tom Hawley’s U.S./ Euro Rankings (Dec. 18, 2022)

December 19, 2022 Thomas Hawley Ratings

Patrick Cantlay will end the year with a streak of 25 straight weeks on top, based on performance over the last two years. If you look only at 2022, Rory McIlroy had better numbers, an average event rating of 2253. Among those with eight or more appearances, the rest of the 2022 top 10 is Cantlay, Will Zalatoris, Xander Schauffele, Scottie Scheffler, Jon Rahm, Dustin Johnson, Matthew Fitzpatrick, Cameron Smith, and Justin Thomas, in that order. Alejandro Canizares and Brian Stuard led U.S. and Euro players in appearances (in events tracked by alookatgolf.com), both appearing 36 times. Adam Schenk, Sepp Straka, Santiago Tarrio Ben, Sahith Theegala, and Dale Whitnell appeared 35 times.

Patrick Cantlay, absent the last 10 weeks as of mid-December, remains no. 1.

QBE Shootout Power Rankings

December 5, 2022 Thomas Hawley Picks, U.S. Events

We’ll call the team of Jason Day and Billy Horschel the favorite in this week’s QBE Shootout at Tiburón Golf Course in Naples, on Florida’s southwest coast. Last year Horschel finished second with Sam Burns and Day was third with Marc Leishman in the three-day (Friday thru Sunday) event. The team of Brian Harman and Sepp Straka is ranked just a hair behind. Harman is a past winner (2018 with Patton Kizzire) and has played three other times, while Straka makes his first appearance in this event.

Tom Hawley’s U.S./ Euro Rankings (Dec. 4, 2022)

December 5, 2022 Thomas Hawley Ratings

Patrick Cantlay, who has played only the Presidents Cup (where he went 3-1) and the Shriners (where he was second) since the Tour Championship in August, remains no. 1. From among the top 100, players who have improved their rating the most during the fall season are Taylor Montgomery, whose Hawley Number is up 753 points to 1189 to leave him ranked 15th, and Ben Griffin, at a Hawley number of 742 and ranked 53rd after being unranked on Sep. 1. Others new to the rankings and now in the top 200 since that date are Eugenio Chacharra, SH Kim, Cole Hammer, Harrison Endycott, Phachara Khongwatmai, Paul Haley, and Tyson Alexander, in that order. Montgomery, Griffin, Kim, Endycott, and Alexander are PGA Tour rookies. Chacharra and Khongwatmai are LIV, Hammer is Korn Ferry, and Haley is returning to the PGA Tour.

Patrick Cantlay, absent the last eight weeks, remains no. 1.
