[b]There's just one event to concentrate on this week but it's a cracker. Read Steve's thoughts on the Honda Classic here...[/b]
[b]Tournament[/b]
First played as the Jackie Gleason Inverrary Classic in 1972, this will be the 40th staging of the Honda Classic.
[b]Venue[/b]
PGA National Champion Course, Palm Beach Gardens, Florida
[b]Course Details[/b]
[i]Par 70, 7158 yards, stroke average in 2011 - 72.54[/i]
This will be the sixth staging in-a-row at the Tom and George Fazio designed PGA National - a tough course and very much a story of two halves. The first four holes are four of the five easiest on the course, with the par five 18th, ranked at 15, the other one of the five. In stark contrast to the start, the finish is brutal and following Jack Nicklaus' redesign...

Last year's inaugural winner...

This week's Race to Dubai event, the Trophee Hassan II in Morocco, looks a nigh on impossible puzzle to solve. It's a pro-am with a distinctly second division field staged over two courses and two different courses to those used last year to boot! I simply did not know where to start, or whether it was even worth starting and I wasn't a million miles from not even having a bet before the off, but where's the fun in that? And anyway, one player looked way too big - Sweden's Freddie Andersson-Hed.
It's less than two months since Freddie was finishing 7th in the Dubai Desert Classic, a far better event than this one and that came just a week after a missed cut in Qatar, so a couple of weekends off recently needn't be a huge negative, especially considering he shot 67 last Friday, ten shots...
