PGA Honda Classic Course PGA National(Champion), Palm Beach Gardens, Florida Par 70 7140 Yards This week the PGA Tour travels to Florida for the Honda Classic. It is the beginning of the Florida swing and the PGA National has hosted the event since 2007. The course is known for its famous 3 hole stretch called “the bear trap” which got its name when Jack Nicklaus redesigned the course to make it tougher than it previously was. The course is a Par 70 setup with only 2 Par 5’s and 4 Par 3’s. The wind in Florida can howl making this a very tough test as most holes are guarded by a collection of Sand Bunkers and Water. Accuracy off the tee and around the green is crucial for this event. If you are targeting golfers who don’t hit the greens regularly, you need them to be very good scramblers, especially from the sand. Here are the stats I will be concentrating on this week: Ball Striking SG: Tee to Green SG: Putting GIR Scrambling Par 3 Performance Tier 1 Targets (DK Price $9000-Max) Note: With Rory’s return to the USA it puts his rice well above all other golfers this week and making him a fade for me.

Justin Rose - $10,800 (Vegas Odds – 21/1) It’s Rose’s first tournament on the PGA Tour since the Farmers where he had a bogey-filled first round to send him home before the weekend. There are no 2015 stats updated for Rose yet on the PGA so I looked at his 2014 stats closely as well as his 2 starts on Euro Tour in 2015. He has 2 top 13 finishes on Euro Tour so far and is hitting greens at a 75% Clip. His Scrambling is also ranked 12th on Euro Tour so far at 68%. His 2014 stats on PGA Tour are also good (Ball Striking-47th, SG:Tee to Green-4th, GIR-41st, Scrambling-31st) His course history is what really made him my top target. His last 3 starts here saw him go T4, T5, Solo 3rd. He has made 4/5 cuts here since the tournament moved to PGA National in 2007. Brooks Koepka - $9,500 (Vegas Odds – 34/1) Brooks has not played since the Farmers a few weeks ago where he finished...
