Honda Classic field: 8 of OWGR's top 50; Pierceson Coody among invites

On the heels of back-to-back designated events, the PGA Tour begins its Florida Swing with next week’s Honda Classic, where eight of the top 50 players in the world will be teeing it up at PGA National in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.

Sungjae Im, ranked No. 18 in the Official World Golf Ranking, is the highest-ranked player in the field, followed by Billy Horschel (19), Shane Lowry (22), defending champion Sepp Straka (30), Aaron Wise (40), Alex Noren (41), Min Woo Lee (47) and J.T. Poston (50).

Last year, the Honda had 11 top-50 players in the field, topped by top-20 players Louis Oosthuizen, Brooks Koepka and Joaquin Niemann, all three of whom have since bolted to LIV Golf.
