Sungjae Im, Billy Horschel and Shane Lowry headline 2023 Honda Classic field

Following the second designated event of the year at Riviera, the PGA Tour will head to the PGA National in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, for the 2023 Honda Classic. The regular format event is set to tee off on February 23 and go on until the 26th.

The Honda Classic sits in an awkward place on the 2023 PGA Tour schedule as it follows back-to-back designated events. The event is sandwiched between the ongoing Genesis Invitational and the upcoming Arnold Palmer Invitational.

As a result, it is bound to feature a weaker field as many of the world’s best players take the week off to rest.

The Honda Classic will be headlined by the likes of Sungjae Im, Billy Horschel and Shane Lowry. Apart from the main trio, defending champion Sepp Straka will also be at the PGA National.

Following the circuit’s standardized system, the event will feature PGA Tour University No. 1 and two-time Korn Ferry Tour winner Pierceson Coody on the field.

Ryder Cup captains Zach Johnson and Luke Donald will also be on the 132-player field. The golfers will go up against each other for the $8,400,000 prize purse on offer.
