Wind Conditions

Wind will play a significant role during the Sony Open weekend. Forecasts indicate:

• January 15th and 16th: Light to moderate winds from the northeast at 8-12 mph. These winds will be steady but not strong enough to drastically affect play although gusts can reach up to 30 mph.

Other Weather Possibilities

• Humidity: Moderate humidity levels will keep the air comfortable without feeling overly sticky.

• Rain chances: Less than 20% chance of brief, light showers in the early mornings, mainly on January 15th and 16th. These showers are unlikely to disrupt play

  
  

What This Means for the Sony Open

The forecast suggests constant winds throughout the tournament. There looks to be a slight wind advantage for players with Thursday Morning and Friday afternoon tee times. This advantage isn't enough to turn me away from any players I like that aren't in this specific wave.
