PGA Tour Fantasy Picks: Honda Classic
By Sam Belden
Who has what it takes to kick off the PGA Tour Florida swing with a fantasy bang?
The PGA Tour Florida swing is a sure sign It’s that time of year again – the Masters is less than 60 days away! Starting with this week’s Honda Classic, the circuit will make its way through Tampa, Orlando, Mexico City and two Texas stops before winding up at Augusta National in mid-April.
Tempting as it is to daydream about the Masters, though, we’ve got to take things one week at a time — there’s still a lot of golf to be played before then, after all. This week’s venue, the Champion Course at PGA National, will present a tough field with a fittingly tough test. As usual, “The Bear Trap” — a devilish run of holes towards the end of the back nine — will take centerstage. Get ready to see some golf balls hit the drink.
This week, I’m making my fantasy picks with a high-risk/low-risk theme in mind. Each of the following five players stands out as a viable pick for one reason or another. Each player’s DraftKings salary is listed next to his name, so let’s get to it.
