2012 Honda Classic Odds Listed Below

The Honda Classic kicks off all of your golf picks for March, and here at Bankroll Sports, we are taking a moment to look at some of the best 2012 Honda Classic odds that will be on the board for this big time tournament.

2012 Honda Classic Predictions & Info
2012 Honda Classic Dates: Thursday, March 1st – Sunday March 4th, 2012
2012 Honda Classic Location: PGA National Resort, Palm Beach Gardens, FL
Defending Honda Classic Winner: Rory Sabbatini

This is going to be one heck of an event when push comes to shove, as the Honda Classic has brought in some of the best golfers in the world as it usually does. That means that the name that everyone is going to be following is Tiger Woods (Golf Odds 10.85 to 1 @ Sportbet Sportsbook). Tiger is still struggling with his putter, and it is really proving to be his downfall for the most part. However, he still has a tremendous game and he would love to claim this tournament title. It is one of the few that Tiger can’t say that he has ever won, and for a man that is really looking to make a comeback to the greatness that we are all used to, this could be a remarkable accomplishment.

Honda Classic TV Schedule
Thursday, March 1st – Golf Channel: 3:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. (ET)
Friday, March 2nd – Golf Channel: 3:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. (ET)
Saturday, March 3rd – NBC: 3:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. (ET)
Sunday, March 4th – NBC: 3:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. (ET)

Though Phil Mickelson hasn’t committed to this event as of yet, some of the other stars in the game are going to be here in the Sunshine State. That includes Charl Schwartzel (Honda Classic Odds 25 to 1 @ Sportbet Sportsbook). Schwartzel will only be playing in his second event of the year after the Accenture Match Play Championship last week, and few are going to underestimate him when push comes to shove in this event. Remember that he won the Masters last year, and he also rarely finished outside of the Top 25 in events. Schwartzel played well here last year, posting an even par for the four rounds, and though he finished off the pace by quite a few shots, he still finished tied for 14th and was one of the few golfers at a tough event that could say that they posted three rounds out of four under par in this tournament.

List Of Past Honda Classic Winners (Since 2000)
2011 – Rory Sabbatini
2010 – Camilo Villegas
2009 – YE Yang
2008 – Ernie Els
2007 – Mark Wilson
2006 – Luke Donald
2005 – Padraig Harrington
2004 – Todd Hamilton
2003 – Justin Leonard
2002 – Matt Kuchar
2001 – Jesper Parnevik
2000 – Dudley Hart

As you can see with the list of past Honda Classic champions, there aren’t a lot of big time names that can say that they have one of these titles on their mantle. Meanwhile, the winner of last year’s Honda Classic Rory Sabbatini (Odds To Win The Honda Classic 90 to 1 @ Sportbet Sportsbook) is back to try to defend his title. His odds are definitely long thanks to the way that he has been playing for most of this year. He did will at the Hyundai Tournament of Champions in January, but since that point, things just have not gone well. He has missed three straight cuts coming into this event, and it would be a real shock to see him once again find his way into the winner’s circle to become the just the second man to ever win back to back events here in Palm Beach Gardens. If he did though, Sabbatini would join some pretty elite company, as the only other repeat winner of the Honda Classic is the great Jack Nicklaus.

We certainly aren’t counting out a man that did quite well at the Accenture Match Play Championships to start off his year, Lee Westwood (Honda Classic Lines 9 to 1 @ Sportbet Sportsbook). Westwood could be the world’s No. 1 ranked player by the time this one tees off, and a strong finish here at Palm Beach Gardens would only help that out when push comes to shove. Westwood was one of the most consistent golfers in the world last year, finishing third in terms of average finishing position in tournaments for golfers that played in more than one event, and he could definitely be one to be reckoned with this week.
