PGA – Honda Classic
The PGA tour attracts the best golfers and golf betting from all over the world. Each tournament brings a number of surprises and upsets.
This year, the biggest difference is that Tiger Woods will not be playing. Because of all the scandalous accusations about infidelity going around about him, he has checked himself into a sex rehab and is taking a break from golf indefinitely.
Who knows how long he will be out of action, but in the meantime it offers some other up and coming golfers to strut their stuff.
The PGA Tour Honda Classic is a regular stop on the tour and has been around since the 1970s. The tournament always takes place in Florida on the Champion Golf Course.
The history of the course is quite interesting, as it was first built by George and Tom Fazio but later renovated by Jack Nicklaus. Jack added what is known as the “bear trap” on holes 15, 16, and 17. The whole tournament benefits the Nicklaus Children’s Healthcare Foundation, and is a prestigious stop on the tour. The course is ranked on the “top 100″ resorts in many different golf publications.
The tournament takes place from March 4-7 in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. Last year’s tournament winner was Yang from Korea. He shot a two under 68 to end up one shot ahead of the competition. It was his first PGA tour victory and who knows, he may even repeat with another win this year.
