A strong field tees it up this week for the TOC in Hawaii and I'm dipping the toes in on the 2022 curtain raiser with the favourite, JT and Erik Van Rooyen.
JT has twice been a winner here and he'll look to get out of the blocks early and follow up on his 5th & 3rd place finishes at the end of 2021. A deserved favourite for the event he may be but without getting too hung up on whether he's value of not, he's a bet for me here.
Erik Van Rooyen could surprise this week @ 125/1 - 6 places. Recent winner of the Barracuda Championship, the South African makes his debut here and perhaps he has a lot of heavyweights to overcome at Kapalua this week but he's not out of his depth and could challenge a top-6 where his big hitting and a return to the form he showed last August/September not long after becoming a Dad, could see him pick up again. Having spent some family time over the Christmas period, EVR arrives in good form sporting a moustache that he may just keep a bit longer if he puts a good result on the board here.
