2022 Sentry Tournament of Champions Fantasy Sleeper Report

Here we go again! Into the breach of what should be a stellar 2022 for the PGA TOUR and world golf in general.

The action kicks off in customary fashion with the Tournament of Champions, to which all of last season’s 39 PGA TOUR event winners have been invited.

And all have responded in the positive and will tee it up in Maui, Hawaii – all, that is, apart from Rory McIlroy, whose keeping his clubs holstered for a while longer yet.

In his place comes Xander Schauffele, the Olympic champion, to complete a 39-man field packed with quality – including former winners of this event like the defending champ, Harris English, plus Justin Thomas, Jordan Spieth, Patrick Reed and others.

Add into the mix the likes of Jon Rahm, Collin Morikawa, Bryson DeChambeau, Brooks Koepka and Viktor Hovland, to name a few, and you’ve got yourselves a rather attractive yearly opener!

The sun looks set to beat down on the players too on that beautiful island of Hawaii, and with the wind almost curiously benign – according to the early forecasts at least – the Kapalua Resort course will very much be there for the taking.

Those with long memories may recall Spieth winning here at -30 a few years ago, and while the scoring has settled slightly from there a mark of -22 or lower is likely to be needed to lift the first trophy of 2022.

That’s because Kapalua offers very little in the way of hazards or concerns, and with expansive fairways and greens even the tardiest of ball-strikers will find their way onto the dancefloor in good order – to offer one example, last year Adam Scott hit an extraordinary 93.1% of greens in regulation.

Nearly half of the field made 80% GIR or better, and so you get a pretty clear impression of what it takes to prevail at Kapalua – hitting your ball very close time and time again, or having a sublime week with the flat stick.

In a field stacked with quality, we’ve made it our mission to find some nuggets of gold at sportsbook odds of 50/1 or greater – no mean feat in a 39-man field, and here’s five that we believe can far outperform their price and perhaps even challenge for honors at the 2022 Tournament of Champions.
