Overview
- Four of the world’s top 10 headline the 120-player field, including Russell Henley, Collin Morikawa, Robert MacIntyre and U.S. Open champion J. J. Spaun, with Jordan Spieth, Hideki Matsuyama and defending winner Nick Taylor also entered.
- DraftKings lists Russell Henley at +1200 and Ben Griffin at +1400 as favorites, with Morikawa, Matsuyama and Spaun at +2000 and Spieth at +3500.
- SportsLine’s 10,000-run model projections downplay Henley’s chances and point to Spaun as a strong contender despite longer odds.
- Waialae Country Club is a par-70, 7,044-yard parkland test with narrow fairways and small greens that reward accuracy.
- Play runs Jan. 15–18, the first round begins Thursday at 5 p.m. GMT, and Golf Channel airs coverage from 7–10 p.m. ET each day.
