Golf tips, free bets and latest odds for the The Sentry in Hawaii

A new PGA Tour campaign gets under way in Hawaii this week, and every golfer eager to start 2025 with a win will be relieved to see Scottie Scheffler’s parking spot unoccupied. The world No 1, who won nine times in 2024, will miss the first two events of the new year, as he underwent minor surgery after slicing open his hand with a broken glass on Christmas Day.
That mishap throws The Sentry wide open, with double Major winner Xander Schauffele heading the betting at a best priced 7-1, and Justin Thomas - a two time winner here - next best at 11-1. But The Sentry is an absolute birdie-fest where anyone can get hot - as David Kirk proved last year with his shock victory. So I’m reluctant to take a short price on the big names.
Find The Sun's betting publishing principles here. The player who offers the best value is last year’s runner-up Sahith Theegala, a 28-1 shot. His final round 63 saw him finish just a shot behind Kirk, and showed he has worked out how to take the Maui course apart.
Theegala posted two more runner-up finishes in 2024 without winning. I cannot see him having another blank year in 2025, and it would be no surprise to see him get the monkey off his back at the first attempt. Schauffele’s followers will point to his awesome record here as proof that his price is not THAT short. He won here in 2019, was beaten in a play-off as defending champion, and has racked up three more top five finishes.
