Sungjae Im (+1800)
Im comes off a T-5 finish last week in which he led the field with 2.38 Strokes Gained: Tee-to-Green per round, according to Data Golf. He also gained 1.28 strokes per round on approach but was undone by his 0.81 strokes lost per round on the greens. It was his debut at the Plantation Course at Kapalua, Hawaii, following his first PGA Tour win last year.
He has played eight career rounds at Waialae CC with an average of 1.51 strokes gained per round to rank fourth in this field. He finished 16th in 2019 and 21st last year.

Chris 'The Bear' Fallica nailed Patrick Reed's victory last week, picking him at 25-1 odds to win at the Farmers Insurance Open. Reed, who was embroiled in some controversy, is not playing this week's event, but the field is loaded with top players.
Defending champ Webb Simpson and the rest of the field won't have the usual raucous atmosphere around them on the 16th hole this time around, but there will still be around 5,000 fans allowed in each day.

Best Golf Bets This Week
Justin Thomas 8-1; Top-10 finish (+110)
Golf Bets This Weekend
Fallica: Thomas has gone T-3, T-3 the last two years here and I can just see him firing darts into these greens. He seems to be at his best when the winning score is a lot under par. He hasn't been worse than 12th in an event since August, so at the very least, small plus money on a top 10 seems like a very strong proposition.
