Tournament: Honda Classic, February 28-March 3, 2019
Course: PGA National (Champion), 7,125 yards, par 70. Located in Palm Beach Gardens, FL
Purse: $6,800,000
Defending Champion: Justin Thomas. The Kentuckian who grew up in Louisville played collegiate golf out of Birmingham, so there’s no reason to like him. Other than he’s really good and very likable. He forced a playoff on the final hole, then birdied the 2nd playoff hole and cameras caught a NSFW exclamation as he made the winning putt.
Fun Fact: Holes 15-17 are known as “The Bear Trap”, due to the difficulty of the holes in the face of normal Florida breezes and lots of water.
