The Honda Classic is coming back to its usual schedule of February, at the beginning of the Florida Swing of the PGA Tour. It hopes that the large crowds will also come back with this schedule. The restrictions due to the pandemic are not expected to impact the Honda Classic, which will take place at the PGA National Resort and Spa in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, from February 24 to 27. Only a fraction of the spectators were permitted daily in the previous year when the tournament was the last Florida stop. The tournament authorities hope to have record charitable donations and big crowds this year. Officials expect to see many new fans and the familiar faces that frequent the tournament every year. Over the past few years, any person who has resided in Palm Beach County has seen the number of residents grow in these parts because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Many new residents have only experienced the Honda Classic through their televisions. Now, they will get a chance to watch the event up close. The tournament gets back to the Champion course with completely developed structures. But it is also introducing some new features. This year, the event will have a double-deck build-up on the final hole of the Bear Trap. It will be utilized as a private hospitality location known as the Bear Trap Reserve. Ken Kennerly, Honda Classic executive director, said, “We have never felt the excitement and energy for the upcoming tournament that we currently do. While our new date should reflect an improved player field, I think the demand for our product is a testament to what we have built over the last 15 years. Many new families moving to our area only know the Honda Classic by reputation. Still, now they will get a chance to experience it. You’ve seen it in other events around the community – the interest to get out and do something fun is at the top of the minds for many people.”
Defending champ Matt Jones said, “The more, the merrier. It’s not the easiest golf hole. The people in Florida understand golf. As long as they are quiet and understand, we have no issues.” Chase Koepka said, “It was very unexpected, but I’m super thrilled to come back and try to have another good finish. I know the course very well, and it suits my game. It’s always great to play in a tournament with my brother. I can’t thank Mr. Kennerly enough.”

Compared to the previous editions, the Honda Classic will see a strong field this time around. Here are the players.
Conclusion:
The Honda Classic was shifted to the late end of March in the previous year. Several of the top golfers on the world did not participate in the event because it was happening between The Players Championship and a couple of World Golf Championship events. The Honda Classic has made its comeback to the February schedule this season. It will take place once again in the Florida Swing. The tournament authorities hope that this adjustment will help improve the playing field, which was lacking in the previous years because of the schedule.
