2019 Honda Classic tee times, viewer's guide

The PGA Tour begins its annual Florida swing this week with the Honda Classic, held at PGA National Resort and Spa in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. The tournament is played on the Champion course designed by Jack Nicklaus, famous for "The Bear Trap," one of the most difficult three-hole stretches on tour.

This year's Honda will have a bit of a different feel, as the field is considerably weaker than in year's past due to the changes to the PGA Tour schedule. With the WGC-Mexico last week and the Players Championship just a few weeks from now, a few marquee names that were staples at the Honda have dropped the event from their schedule. Most notable among those names are Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, who each played in Mexico and will take this week off before returning next week at Bay Hill.

There are still plenty of draws this week though, including defending champion Justin Thomas and 2017 champion Rickie Fowler, who will play alongside each other on Thursday and Friday. Brooks Koepka, Adam Scott and Sergio Garcia are also in the field.
