The 2023 Honda Classic will be underway this week. Sungjae Im, Shane Lowry, and Matt Kuchar are among the top golfers expected to have success at PGA National Resort (The Champion), but here are three sleepers who could be making even louder noises there. Check out some of the sleepers in the 2023 Honda Classic below.
Simpson isn’t exactly having a fantastic season, as he is only 2/6 thus far. He missed three cuts in a row, which were at The RSM Classic, Sony Open in Hawaii, and AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. However, he has already snapped that skid with a T57 at the 2023 Waste Management Phoenix Open. The 37-year-old Simpson still has ways to go before earning bettors’ confidence in him again, but just know that he is 3/3 in his last three PGA TOUR starts at PGA National Resort (The Champion), including a fifth-place at the 2018 Honda Classic.
Hoffman is only 4/10 this season and has not cracked the top 10 in any of his starts to date. However, he is starting to turn things around. After back-to-back missed cuts at The American Express and at the Farmers Insurance Open, Hoffman placed T48 at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am before pulling off a T14 at the Waste Management Phoenix Open.
Watch out for Donald. The England native only has three starts to date this season and he made the cut just once in those events, so clearly, there’s another reason why he’s a sleeper for the upcoming 2023 Honda Classic. Let’s just say that he has plenty of experience at PGA National Resort (The Champion). In fact, he is 8/11 in his career playing on the said course. That includes four top 10s and five top 25s.
