With all of that in mind who should we be keeping an extra eye on this week? Let’s break it down.
2018 The Honda Classic Favorites:
Rickie Fowler +800
It’s really no surprise to see Rickie Fowler with the best odds to win this year’s Honda Classic as he won it last year, but it wasn’t easy.
He took a big lead into Sunday before struggling on the front nine and letting the pack back into the competition.

He used a big back nine though to close the deal and seal the victory. Fowler took last weekend off but has had some success coming into this tournament.
In three of his last five starts, he has been tied for fourth or better with one victory in the Hero World Challange.
Rory McIlroy +1000
Rory Mcllroy comes into this tournament tied with the second-best odds to win at +1000, but he is a guy I would stay far away from, especially at this price.
He has only played in two tours this year, and has a cut and a tied for 20th. Although the tied for 20th isn’t bad, he just doesn’t seem to be dialed in with his golf game right now.
At a better price, he would be worth a look, but at this price, stay away.
2018 The Honda Classic Contenders:
Gary Woodland +2800
Gary Woodland has been pretty inconsistent in his career, and it showed again in his last two events. After winning the Waste Managment Open, he missed the cut in the AT&T Pro Am.
He did take a week off though and should be more refreshed. I would look for him to be in contention when the weekend rolls around.
Patrick Reed +4000
Patrick Reed can be one of the most exciting golfers on the tour when he is on, but as of late he hasn’t been quite on.

This is a course that he has played well at though historically, and if you were looking for someone in this price range, he would be the guy I would go with.
2018 The Honda Classic Sleeper (+5000 or higher):
Kevin Kishner +5000
Kevin Kishner missed the cut last weekend, but he has had a lot of success this year. He had a top-five finish at the RSM classic, and a couple of top 12 finishes.
If he can get off to a good start on Thursday, he could be lifting the trophy on Sunday afternoon.
2018 Genesis Open Picks:
The guy I do really like is – Gary Woodland +2800 to have a nice tournament and end up on top on Sunday Afternoon.
He comes into this tournament hot and with a lot of confidence, and I would expect to see him leave the tournament with a little more cash in his pocket.
