Stuck in the middle of a stretch that includes Tiger Woods’ Genesis Invitational and WGC-Mexico City the two weeks prior, the Honda Classic took a hit a year ago with just three of the top 20 players in the world. But that field is stronger this year with six of the top 20 in the field at PGA National Golf Club. No. 2 – Brooks Koepka No. 11 – Tommy Fleetwood No. 12 – Justin Rose No. 17 – Louis Oosthuizen No. 18 – Shane Lowry No. 19 – Gary Woodland Fowler, ranked 26th, also returns. He finished runner-up last year. “We’ve doubled the top 20s in the field,” Honda executive director Ken Kennerly said. “The field is stronger this year. The schedule is the schedule, that’s always going to be the issue for us.”
