The PGA Tour heads to sunny Florida, as The Honda Classic will be played at PGA National Golf Club (Champion Course), located in Palm Beach Gardens, FL. This course plays host to the Honda Classic each year. This course is open in spots off the tee, but golfers will have to work around the water. Almost every hole on the course has water that bumps into a section of the hole. This course is known for the "Bear Trap", which is considered to be one of the most difficult stretches of golf for the golfers, as the Bear Trap spans 3 holes. Keith Mitchell won the Honda Classic last year, having beat Rickie Fowler and Brooks Koepka by one stroke.

Tommy Fleetwood and Brooks Koepka have the best odds to win the Honda Classic. Fleetwood has made 1 top 10 while making 6/6 cuts. Koepka has made 4/5 cuts, while not finishing in the top 10 thus far. Rickie Fowler who came up one stroke short last year is my pick to win this PGA Tour event. Fowler has made 3 top 10's this season and has made the cut 4/5 times. His odds are 14/1 to win the tournament. Fowler had a great round last year, but was edged out in the end. Fowler will be well rested for the event, as Fowler skipped the WGC-Mexico Championship. Final prediction, Rickie Fowler will win the Honda Classic.
