2021 Honda Classic Picks and Tournament Preview
The 2021 Honda Classic PGA Tournament makes its final stop in Florida before heading to Texas and then leading up the the Masters Tournament in April.
Many top PGA Tour players will now be in weekly tournaments after last week’s Arnold Palmer Invitational during this stretch of events leading up to the Masters in Augusta.
Regardless, The PGA National Champion course will again have loads of drama and the “Bear Trap” of holes 15-17 will once again challenge the players as one of the toughest courses on the PGA Tour schedule.

2021 Honda Classic Tourney Preview
The 2021 Honda Classic will once again have a strong field playing for the $7 million in prize money. Look for many of the top PGA Tour players to make a return to tame the Bear Trap including defending champ Sungjae Im. For fantasy golf players, having a strong field allows for salary cap prices to be a bit lower for some of the top picks which help you create a better lineup easier.
