Honda Classic only South Florida stop for PGA Tour

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. (AP) -- For golf fans of South Florida, the Honda Classic should not be missed this week. That's because for the first time since 1970, it will be the only time this year that the best in golf congregate in this part of the Sunshine State.

Instead of going to Doral the following week, the PGA Tour has moved that World Golf Championship event to Mexico City.

Then again, the ''best in golf'' relates to the PGA Tour being the strongest circuit. The current ''best in golf'' is not at PGA National this week - Dustin Johnson, Jason Day, Rory McIlroy, Henrik Stenson, Hideki Matsuyama and Jordan Spieth are taking the week off or are injured.
