And don’t forget about five-time champ Tiger Woods, who is ready to make his second start of the season after playing the weekend at the Genesis.

After a run of events out west, the PGA Tour packs its bags for the Sunshine State with this week’s Honda Classic kicking off the four-tournament Florida Swing.

And we’ve seen a few longshots emerge victorious in recent years with defending champ Sepp Straka go... 

Following a month-long stay out west the PGA Tour heads to the other coast kicking off the four-tournament swing through the Sunshine State with this week’s Honda Classic. If we learned a lesson over the last several tournaments it’s to not bet against Jon Rahm, who prevailed at the Genesis.

With the bomb cyclone having moved through northern California, the conditions should be favorable when the PGA Tour pays a visit to the Monterey Peninsula for the annual AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. The second pro-am on the season schedule will again require the use of three courses with breathtaking Pebble Beach Golf Links serving as host. To guarantee the full field of pros and their celebrity partners complete 18 holes, Pebble Beach, Spyglass Hill and Monterey Peninsula Country Club will all be in use with the reduced field finishing on the iconic Pebble Beach layout. The first and so far only Tour win for Tom Hoge was here last year overtaking Jordan Spieth.

To avoid any conflict with the NFL playoffs, this week’s Farmers Insurance Open is moved up a day with final round action taking place Saturday.

The PGA Tour is one of the more popular sports but it still can’t compete with the NFL, or it doesn’t want to. To avoid a final round conflict with the conference championship games on Sunday, this week’s Farmers Insurance Open gets started a day earlier with the final 18 holes played on Saturday. Maybe Jon Rahm should let other golfers have a chance. A winner in three...
