When presented with good news and bad news, and you’re given the option to choose which you want to field first, always start with the bad news. That leaves the good news as the built-in beginning toward a resolution or decision. If this is the only thing you’ll ever glean from my advice and encouragement, you’re welcome. The Honda Classic is fraught with bad news – 18 holes of it. PGA National’s Champion Course isn’t a picnic. It’s an unpalatable challenge you’d see on a reality show resulting in one survivor. Fortunately, that’s the bad news. The flipside is that selecting your gamer for the tournament can boil down to three choices, and they just happen to be the last three champions of the tournament. Despite conventional wisdom, it usually doesn’t work out this way, but Adam Scott (2016), Rickie Fowler (2017) and Justin Thomas (2018) lead the parade. Conveniently, The Honda Classic lines up as the top spot for only one of the 23 golfers included in Future Possibilities below. Great, Scott! For Fowler and JT, both are going to be on our radar almost every time they appear, but the defending champion’s form at the moment is tighter – in the good way – and that’s saying something given Fowler’s success at getting over the hump at TPC Scottsdale just four weeks ago. If none are available or you’re disinclined for whatever reason, give 2016 runner-up Sergio Garcia a chance. THE PLAYERS is in the hole, and he’s often been the guinea pig for us in that tournament, but he’s been, ahem, surging for months. What happened in Saudi Arabia was unfortunate and he’s addressed it publicly. He’s turned the page so, so should you. Everything since has aligned with his profile and trending. Daniel Berger, victim of a playoff at PGA National in 2015, rapidly has emerged as a weapon at a good time. He put together a strong weekend in Puerto Rico to finish T2, and that was on paspalum. We already know how much he loves himself bermudagrass on which he’ll be rolling it this week. All other considerations are better for two-man gamers. From Lucas Glover or Michael Thompson to Scott Piercy or C.T. Pan, each is deserving. For various reasons, holster Brooks Koepka, Gary Woodland and Webb Simpson. FUTURE POSSIBILITIES NOTE: Select golfers committed to the tournament are listed alphabetically. Future tournaments are sorted chronologically and reflect previous success on the courses on which the tournaments will be held in 2018-19. The numerical values in parentheses represent the order of relative confidence of where to use each golfer if multiple sites are listed (e.g. 1 for strongest, 2 for next-strongest and so on). To present weighted confidence in real time, numerical values will not change all season no matter how many tournament remain listed for each golfer. All are pending golfer commitment.
