Forty -five days and six golf tournaments remain in the PGA Tour schedule before setting the first stake on the ground in Augusta National Golf Club for 2025 masters. Swing Florida begins this week in PGA National Beach Champion Course , FL. ABOUT Classic connoisseur While the march towards the first major championship of the season is officially developing. In the displacement from the west coast to the southeast, we go from the poa Annua greens, the mountains, the altitude change and the Pacific Ocean in Flatlands, Palma, Bunkers Sand, Bermudagrass, and often, those infamous Florida winds. Welcome to the next four weeks on tour in the Sunshine state.

The National PGA has been changed to a par 71 recently, turning what was a very tall vanguard into a 5 relatively short in nine interior. What was originally a George and Tom Fazio design in the early 1980s is tweak several times in the last 20+ years by Jack Nicklaus. The course now extends to about 7,200 yards and is known for a brutal span of holes (15, 16 and 17) called “Trap Bear”.

For what is one of the toughest golf courses in the tournament calendar, the water enters almost every hole and has 60 sand bunkers to negotiate, around relatively large Bermudagras envelope and narrow road restrictions. The ball hit is in a premium here, and really in all the swinging in Florida. Outside tee is very challenging in PGA National and many players will club, favoring accuracy over length. Over half of the access shooting this week will come from 125-200 yards and the numbers will indicate that approaching 150+ yards in this course are the most difficult in the circuit. With this, scrambling will certainly be essential this week as well, because the greens will be missing and the players will be forced to rise and down often.

Now, we can pump the brakes throughout this difficulty perceived somewhat as there has been some rain in the area that leads to this tournament and the prediction seems to be less and a factor than it is often. A gentle golf course with very little wind will hold more balls on the right roads and in the greens in the regulation. The average winning result in 13 of the past 15 publications of this event is less than 9.5 under the money. Chris Kirk won on 14 under 2023 and Austin Eckroat got it on 17 under last year. Note, these last two years have been as a PAR-71 golf course against what was once a par 70. Betting the winning result proposal this week on the Las Vegas SuperBook is 268.5, meaning 15.5 under the money.

Interconnected courses are more difficult to discover about PGA National but some tendencies we have seen for sure over the years are this course that offers food to open British specialists and it has a lot of success of intersection with Sony Open on Waialae Club In Honolulu-another coastal course that is Bermudagrass Wall-to-Wall, with narrow roads and can be too sensitive to wind conditions. Other where I found the need for similar demands in terms of skill groups are Silverado in Napa (ProCore Championship), Renaissance Club (Scottish Open), Royal Liverpool and Narashino Country Club (Zozo Championship) in Japan.

I have played each of this week’s elections for a full win, as well as a Top-20th finish.

Shane Lowry (20-1)

With the power of the stars missing in this field, I believe there is a great chance to get a long winner this week and for the most part, this is the direction I went with the shows-but I had to go to the top of the Board of Disputes for one of our elections because of his extraordinary record here and in the state of Florida. During the last 36 rounds, Lowry is no. 1 in this field for success in Florida Swing (Cognant Classic, Arnold Palmer Invitational, Valsspar Championship and player championship). He has never lost a cut here in PGA National on seven trips and his last three ends have been 2-5-4. He emerges from a final of the race a few weeks ago in Pebble Beach and ranks third in tours near holes from 175-200 yards. He is, of course, a winner of the open championship and also ended Ninth at Royal Liverpool in 2014. He was the 12th in Scottish Open and 13 in Zozo. Playing in the comfort of his home condition, I expect Lowry to be in quarrel here again.

Taylor Pendrith (30-1)

I believe there are great things that come in the near future for Pendrith and can be as soon as this week. He has climbed to the 40th Rango player in OWGR, received his first May tournament last May, and already has two Top-10 ends in five starts this season. He is a big hitter and a great clamp – a deadly combination in golf. Pendrith ranks second on the tours on the ball of the ball and during the last 36 rounds, is the fourth in this field for the strokes: outside the Tee, for the proximity of the holes of 150-175 yards, and is the seventh for SG: setting (Bermudagrass). It was often seen as a force in the larger Golf courses, Pendrith also had a 10th place end last season in Sony Open-and it does not harm that Pendrith makes his home right here at Palm Beach Gardens, Fla.

Nicolai Hoygaard (64-1)

Like Pendrith, Hojgaard is another great hitter, ranking sixth in the tours in the ball. During the last 36 rounds, it is fifth in this field for SG: Access, the second near the holes of 175-200 yards and 22 from 125-150 yards. In 2023, Hojgaard ended the sixth in Scottish Open and followed him with a 23rd place in Royal Liverpool in the open championship. He reaches an eighth-week end last week in Mexico, where he was second in the field for greens in regulations, but 55 in SG: Setting. If its placement is average this week, it will be a threat to win for the second right week.

JJ SPAUN (70-1)

The perfect ball striker, Spaun, has made a career for himself ready in this skill alone. During the last 36 rounds, he is no. 1 In this field for SG access: it ranks ninth for SG: Ball blow and is third near the holes from 125-150 yards. Spaun also lined up quite nicely in the interconnected courses this week with the endings of the ninth and 11th place in Napa, one 12th and a third that comes earlier this season in Sony Open, and two places of the country six in Zozo Championship.

Jhonattan Vegas (85-1)

The great Venezuelan of the blow has played the event 10 times in his career and lost only once. Six times he ended up the top 30 with a fourth place in 2017 being his best attempt. Vegas also has a Top-10 conclusion in Silverado, where he made five out of six cuts, and an 11th place in Zozo last October. It ranks sixth in this field for SG: Ball Strking during the last 36 rounds, 10 per SG: Access, 18 per SG: Off the tee, and is the 28th for the proximity of holes from 175-200 yards.

Nico Echavarria (100-1)

Speaking about the Zozo championship last October, Echavarria was your winner there and then started his 2025 season with a competitor in Sony Open, falling to Nick Taylor at a Play off at Waialae Country Club. He is another resident of Florida who has played here many times, ending 21 last year. We talked about this golf course being especially difficult for approaching 150 yards or more. Echavarria ranks second in this area for the proximity of holes from 150-175 yards during the last 36 rounds. He is the 13th for good won drives and also the 16th for SG: Bermudagrass. 100-1 looks quite generous for a guy who not only makes sense in this course, but has won twice on tour in the last two seasons.

Ben Kohles (200-1)

Now for our truly long bomb, and yes, he is also a resident in Florida. Kohles is deadly accurate from tee and ranks 15th on tours in the ball hit. During the last 36 rounds, he is the fourth in this field for good acquired discs and is no. 1 For the proximity of holes from 150-175 yards. Kohles comes to a Top-25 end in Mexico, where he closed with a round of 65. He is currently the 15th on the SG tour: setting.
