Favorites to win the 2022 Honda Classic
Sungjae Im (+1,000)
The Korean star was the pre-tournament favorite in 2021 after winning the event the year prior. And while he didn't emerge victorious for a second consecutive year, Im did finish in a five-way tie for eighth. He wasn't nearly as successful here in 2019, though he did shoot a 7-under 64 in the second round that year. The 23-year-old has a bright future and will aim for his third PGA Tour victory this weekend with a repeat performance from 2020. He's coming off a T33 finish at the Genesis Invitational.
Tommy Fleetwood (+1,400)
Perhaps improbably, Fleetwood is second on the board after a disappointing 2021. He hasn't played in a PGA Tour event in 2022, but did finish T12 at the Dubai Desert Classic in late January. While he didn't play in the Honda Classic in 2021, Fleetwood finished only two strokes behind Im for third place in 2020 after shooting a 4-under 276,
Louis Oosthuizen (+1,600)
Oosthuizen is coming off a T14 at the Waste Management Phoenix Open two weeks ago where he shot an 11-under 273. His last foray at the Honda wasn't so successful, missing the cut at +9. Still, the South African enters this weekend's tournament ranked 13th on the tour, which may make him the highest-ranked player in the field.
Three golfers at +1,800
Joaquin Niemann, Billy Horschel, and Daniel Berger are next on the board, each at +1,800. Niemann is coming off an incredible showing at the Genesis Invitational where he shot a 19-under 265 for a wire-to-wire victory. Niemann was second on the board a year ago before the tournament started and finished T25 at -2.
Horschel last played at the WM Phoenix Open, where he shot a 5-under 66 on the final day to finish T6 at -14. He's currently ranked 21st on the PGA Tour.
Berger is ranked a spot ahead of Horschel, but he didn't fare quite as well in Scottsdale, missing the cut. While he didn't play the event in 2021, Berger finished T4 in the 2020 Honda Classic with a 3-under 277.
2022 Honda Open notable sleepers
Mackenzie Hughes (+4,000)
The Canadian missed the cut this past weekend, but he finished T16 at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in early February. He also finished one stroke behind Im in 2020 after he shot a 5-under 275, including a pair of 66s on Saturday and Sunday to finish in strong form. Hughes didn't do as well a year ago but still managed a T36.
Matt Jones (+5,000)
Jones is the returning champion, but he's nowhere near the top of the board. He's made strides since missing the cut at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Jones performed well at this past weekend's Genesis Invitational, shooting 3-under for a T15 finish. He also hung around in the WM Phoenix Open, finishing at T58.
Cameron Young (+5,500)
The 24-year-old was in the thick of competition at the Genesis Invitational, finishing T2 with a 17-under 267. However, he shot 1-under on Sunday and couldn't push eventual winner Niemann. Still, Young is a star on the rise. He finished T26 at the WM Phoenix Open and T20 at the Farmers Insurance Open. He's made three consecutive cuts since a disappointing showing at the Sony Open in mid-January.
