2022 The Honda Classic

Rickie Fowler will be eager to emulate four golf legends by winning
The Honda Classic in Florida, USA on February 27.
The American star would become the fifth golfer to win this tournament twice if he clinches the trophy this weekend having finished second in 2019 and sixth in 2016.
Jack Nicklaus, Johnny Miller, Mark Calcavecchia and Pádraig Harrington are the four men who have won The Honda Classic more than once.

The California-born golfer won The Honda Classic for his fourth PGA Tour win in 2017 as he closed with a 1-over 71 for a four-shot victory over Gary Woodland and Morgan Hoffmann.
For the first time in his career, Fowler preserved his 54-hole lead to win and the title saw Fowler move back up into the top 10 of the Official World Golf Rankings.
Fowler then won the 2019 Waste Management Phoenix Open after having a four-stroke lead in the final round, losing the lead, then regaining the lead for a two-stroke victory.
The 33-year-old posted an eighth-place finish at the 2021 PGA Championship and it was his 12th top-10 finish in a major as he looked to clinch his first professional win since his Phoenix Open triumph.

Fowler, who has won nine events in his professional career, recently stated that he has been feeling good in recent weeks and expects to add to his trophy cabinet in 2022.
“It has been a bit more of just going out and not worrying so much about the swing, not golf swing but just playing golf and hitting shots,” Fowler said.
“It’s been fun to be back in a position where I can just go play golf. And like I said, we put the work in on the swing, and so time to stop worrying about that and go play golf.
"It’s been a long time coming, but it is nice to finally start to see some results.”
