The 2020 Honda Classic

Each spring, golf fans from all around the country flock to Palm Beach Gardens for the crown jewel of golf tournaments. The Honda Classic is a week-long PGA tour event that celebrates the sport right in our backyard! With names like Rickie Fowler and Brooks Koepka competing, you know it is the best of the best. Whether you are a golf fanatic or just looking for something to do February 24 – March 1, this is an event you do not want to miss.

 

Where is the tournament hosted?

The PGA National Golf Club in Palm Beach Gardens has hosted the Honda Classic since 2007. The club features five beautiful 18-hole courses, but the tournament is played on the infamous Champion Course each year. This course is best known for “The Bear Trap,” a complex three-hole stretch designed by Jack Nicklaus, nicknamed the Golden Bear.
