Tony Finau Sony Open DraftKings

Tony Finau is still one of those guys who looks like he’s about two weeks away from just opening the floodgates and becoming a true force on the PGA TOUR. That might sound odd when we’re talking about a guy with around $8 million in career earnings and a win, but here we are.

When you’re building your DraftKings team for the Sony Open, though, have no fear when it comes to putting Finau on your roster. He’s steadily on the rise thus far in the 2017-18 season, and this trip to Waialae could be coming at the absolute perfect time.

The former “Big Break” contestant headed into the winter break in outstanding form, with three top 25 finishes in four starts. He peaked early, with a runner-up at the Safeway Open, and he narrowly missed a fourth top-25, tying for 26th at the CJ Cup two weeks later.

Finau’s reputation as a bomber precedes him, currently leading the TOUR in driving distance. However, his is a game that carries over to all types of tests. He last missed a cut at The PLAYERS back in May, and he closed the season with top tens in four of his last eight.

Look for Finau to surpass his personal best (T-20) from last year at Waialae, and to help your Fantasy team to success.
