The Honda Classic 2023 Betting Preview
22 February 2023
The Honda Classic is set to take place this weekend down in South Florida, and this is another event that is always popular on the schedule. The overall field for the Honda Classic isn’t as great as it has been in recent events, but that can also make for better betting opportunities.
The PGA National Resort and Spa (Champions Course) is once again the host of this tournament, and the par is 70. There have been some very low scores posted at this event in the past, and that could be what takes place this weekend as well.
Here is a look at some of the betting odds that are available for the Honda Classic this weekend.
Betting Favorites to Win Honda Classic
- Sungjae Im +850
- Shane Lowry +1600
- Aaron Wise +2200
- Chris Kirk +2500
- Denny McCarthy +2500
- Matt Kuchar +2500
- Min Woo Lee +2500
Even though some of the top golfers are taking the weekend off, there are still some popular names set to tee it up. Sungjae Im is a golfer that has had plenty of experience and success on the PGA Tour, and he is the favorite to win this weekend.
The odds for Im to win the Honda Classic are similar to what you would find at other events, but then the odds start to look much different. You would still consider Matt Kuchar and Min Woo Lee to be betting favorites this weekend, even though those odds are set at +2500.
It wouldn’t be a surprise to see any of these players win the Honda Classic this weekend, but they will all have to play well in order to get that done.
Top Contenders to Win
- Billy Horschel +2800
- Adam Svensson +3300
- Harris English +3300
- J.T. Poston +3300
- Jhonattan Vegas +3300
- Taylor Pendrith +3500
- Thomas Detry +4000
Beyond the list of betting favorites to win the Honda Classic, you can also find a solid group of betting contenders. There are seven different golfers to include in this group, and the odds are pretty tight for everyone included in this group.
It’s going to take a big effort from the golfers in this group to win the event, but you can also get a really nice payout if one of these golfers comes through with the win. Taking a close look at the seven golfers listed above is a good way to go, especially if those odds start to move.

Svensson Comes Up Big
This is going to be a tournament that has some interesting names at the top of the leaderboard and that should present plenty of drama. There is a solid group of betting favorites headed to the Honda Classic, but looking at someone from the top contenders is the way to go.
Adam Svensson has decent odds to win this event, and ranked in the Top 10 in the Dunkel Index is someone worth considering. Svensson is going to come up with a ton of big shots at the Honda Classic, and we like him to be crowned the champion.
