Xander Schauffele tops the odds board after adding two majors to the trophy cabinet last season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shauffele had 11 straight top-20 finishes before his T41 at the ZoZo Championship in October. He was T10 at the Sentry last year and runner-up to Justin Thomas in 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of JT, he’s second on the odds board. The former World No. 1 has a great history here and is searching for his first win since the PGA Championship in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are a handful of big names coming in with 20-to-1 odds or shorter, including Hideki Matsuyama, who I’m picking to win (more on that later).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Four Canadians are playing this week with Corey Conners leading the way on the odds board. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sentry best bets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Matsuyama to win (+1,800) & top-20 finish (-137):<\/strong> Full disclosure: There’s always a risk Hideki will tweak his back and pull the chute mid-event. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I won’t be scared and think this is a perfect spot for the 32-year-old to pick off another win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matsuyama has struggled at Kapalua in recent years but still has three top-five finishes at this venue on his ledger. It’s a perplexing resume because this course should fit his eye. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plantation course is often compared to Augusta National thanks to its wide fairways and wild undulations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Players need an elite second-shot game to compete at either venue. Matsuyama won the green jacket in 2021 and is one of the best ball strikers on the planet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also has a win, a T2 and a T3 in his last six starts. That math checks out to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pendrith to win (+5,500) & top-20 finish (+150): <\/strong>I’m taking a flier on Canadian Taylor Pendrith, who is playing some great golf right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elite iron play has propelled him to six top-20 finishes in his last seven starts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pendrith ranks third in strokes gained: approach (+0.97) in this field behind only Matsuyama and Thomas over the last 20 starts, according to DataGolf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He can bomb the ball off the tee and his accuracy issues with the big stick won’t matter here. The plus-money odds to finish in the top 20 are nice but I have to sprinkle his 55-to-1 odds to win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Greyserman top-20 finish (+125):<\/strong> Does Greyserman have the clutch gene? It doesn’t look like it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 29-year-old let multiple tournaments slip away in the fall but put himself in a position to win, which is what’s important here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He has four top-five finishes in his last six starts (three runner-ups), never finishing worse than T33.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Greyserman is an elite putter and a respectable iron player. I like his chances of finishing in the top third of this field. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
