Sleeper picks: ZOZO CHAMPIONSHIP

For the ZOZO Championship at ACCORDIA GOLF Narashino Country Club, sleeper picks offer intriguing value across various categories. Here's a breakdown of some under-the-radar choices:

Outright: Max Homa (+5000)

Although Homa hasn’t been in top form for the past few months, he is a proven winner with six PGA TOUR titles. His recent boost from a successful performance at the Presidents Cup could serve as a catalyst for a strong showing at Narashino, making him a great pick for a rebound.

Top 5: Will Zalatoris (+550)

Zalatoris showed solid form toward the end of the 2024 season, with top finishes at the FedExCup Playoffs. After returning from injury and gradually reconnecting with his competitive groove, his ball-striking ability makes him a potential contender at Narashino, where precision matters.

Top 10: Ryo Hisatsune (+550)

A rookie from Japan, Hisatsune has impressed with consistent performances, including a T3 finish at the Wyndham Championship. Competing on home soil and showing past success at Narashino with a T12 and T6, Hisatsune’s familiarity with the course and strong par-4 scoring make him a sleeper pick for a top-10 finish.

Top 20: Kevin Yu (+230)

Despite missing the cut at the Shriners Children’s Open, Yu has shown impressive form, winning the Sanderson Farms Championship recently. His ability to rack up birdies and handle tough par-3s should help him finish strong in this limited-field event, making him a solid pick for the top 20.

Top 30: Chad Ramey (+180)

Ramey has quietly posted solid results in his last two starts, finishing T21 and T23. With no cut in this event, his consistency could see him finish comfortably in the top 30, especially after overcoming a wrist injury that briefly sidelined him.

These sleeper picks provide solid options for those looking to take calculated risks at the ZOZO Championship.
