Bob Weeks Picks Six – The Sony Open | TSN

Jan 7, 2025 | tsn.ca | Robert Weeks

The PGA Tour shifts islands in Hawaii for the season’s second stop at the Sony Open, moving from Maui to Oahu. As was the case last week, the wind will be a large factor in the winning score. If it lays down, expect a lot of birdies. It’s been that way for most of the days in the last three years of this tournament, bringing the average score down well under par. What won’t be the same as last week is driving accuracy.
