PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. – Europeans helped put the shine back on the Honda Classic when the tournament was struggling to rebuild its marquee and bring back the game’s biggest stars.
Maybe it’s only fair the event returns the favor now.
England’s Lee Westwood and Luke Donald took turns holding down the world No. 1 ranking back in 2010, ’11 and ’12.
They were among a growing European contingent that was making the Honda Classic the start of its Masters preparation.
It was a huge boost to the sagging South Florida event’s craving for more star power.
