Honda Classic

The US PGA Tour will move to the east coast to play the Honda Classic in Florida.

Below is the list of the top 15 players in the CLi rankings for the Honda Classic.

#	Player	CLi
1	Vijay Singh	5.65
2	Ben Crane	13.25
3	Jason Dufner	13.65
4	Ernie Els	15.60
5	D.A. Points	16.60
6	Rory McIlroy	18.90
7	Graeme McDowell	22.70
8	Spencer Levin	22.90
9	Robert Allenby	23.95
10	Matt Kuchar	25.95
11	Fredrik Jacobson	28.95
12	Y.E. Yang	28.95
13	Luke Donald	29.80
14	Anthony Kim	31.15
15	Tom Gillis	31.70

This week Singh has is a clear favority. His CLi figure is below 10 and is almost 8 point better than the second player, Crane.

Crane is looking good as well having played solidly the past 4 tournaments (placing 21st or better) and playing well at the Honda in the past (has not missed a cut).

Dufner has been playing well leading up to this tournament, except for his outing at the AT&T where he missed the cut. In that tournament it really was his first round that shot him the foot (he shot 78) All of his other rounds have been solid. As for the Honda, he has not missed a cut in the 4 times he has played it.

Then for my final two picks, I am going to go with Els and McIlroy. They are both playing solidly lately and enjoy this tournament. I skipped over Points as he has missed the cut in the last tournament he played in (Northern Trust Open) and in last year's Honda.

The 4 players after McIlory in the CLi rankings all look good and are hard to pass up: McDowell, Levin, Allenby, and Kuchar. Too bad I can't pick 9 players....

Below are my 5 picks for the Honda Classic :
