24-27 February 2022
Brooks Koepka will be among the favourites to win The Honda Classic when he tees off at the
PGA National Resort & Spa - The Champion Course.
The American superstar is one of the best golfers in the world having been World Number one in the Official World Golf Ranking for 47 weeks.
Koepka won the US Open in 2017 and 2018, and the PGA Championship in 2018 and 2019, becoming the first golfer in history to hold back-to-back titles in two majors simultaneously.

The two-time PGA Player of the Year is returning to the Champion Course (The Honda Classic] where he finished second in 2019 with his compatriot Keith Mitchell winning the tournament.
Mitchell sank a 15-foot (4.6 m) birdie putt on the final hole, he won by one stroke, avoiding a playoff with runners-up Rickie Fowler and Koepka.

Koepka, who is the 2019 PGA Tour leading money winner, was forced to miss 2021 The Honda Classic with a freak knee injury.
A bad step turned into a dislocated kneecap that shattered in March last year when Koepka tried to jam his knee back into place, but he has since overcome his injury woes.

Koepka has explained that he has been forced to make lifestyle adjustments due to injuries and not be as reckless as he might have been in his 20’s.
“Mentally, I still think I’m 21. But the past three years, there’s the realization I’m not that young person anymore who can go Jet Ski or wakeboard or whatever,” Koepka said.
“Getting out of bed now takes 30 minutes to get going. You have to change your lifestyle. I probably packed on 10 to 15 pounds after the knee surgery because I can’t be as active as I was.
"I can’t go run. I’m never going to be able to run again. You’re parking closer to the door than before and all that.”
Four men have won The Honda Classic more than once namely; Jack Nicklaus, Johnny Miller, Mark Calcavecchia and Pádraig Harrington.
