PGA Betting Picks: Best Prop Bets for the Honda Classic (2022)
The Honda Classic at PGA National in Palm Beach Garden, FL will play host to the Tour this week as the lighter than average field offers a ton of value for bettors willing to dig deep enough. In what will be the most challenging non-major event of the season, let’s take a closer look at this week’s field and see who might find success come Sunday.

Top-20 Finish
Billy Horschel (-110 on DraftKings Sportsbook)
After a relatively quiet 2020-21, Horschel has six made cuts in six events played this season and no finishes worse than T36. The last time we saw him was the Waste Management Open, a T6 that included a 66 on Sunday to put himself right in contention as the weekend winded down.
In his four appearances here at PGA National, Horschel has no finishes worse than T23 and on a course that eats players alive, has been one of its best players over the past few years. Add in a red hot putter which currently has him #2 on Tour in SG: Putting (.972), and I love for Horschel to finish inside the top 20 come Sunday afternoon in his home state of Florida.
Russell Knox (+260 on DraftKings Sportsbook)
We’ve seen a ton of variance this week in the Russell Knox market, with his outright being as high as +6500 at DraftKings and +4100 at FanDuel. While those long odds are both warranted, I do think we see him finish lower than expected this week.
Following a bizarre three-week run where he’s finished T33 in his last three straight outings, Knox is starting to heat up and comes into this event ranked inside the top 10 in SG: Approach and SG: Proximity, two key metrics for success at PGA National.
In what is one of the top three-hole stretches in golf referred to as “The Bear Trap†(15, 16, and 17), Knox leads the tour with a -6 over his eight events played here. With a T2 and T3 in here in the past, I like for Knox to make the cut and be near the top come Sunday afternoon.
