I hope you caught wind of last week’s sleepers and value plays post before it was too late. I warned readers that Patrick Reed’s +5000 price tag was simply way too appetizing to pass up, and I’m still thanking MyBookie for leaving themselves wide open in regard to Reed’s odds.

But rather than rest on my laurels, I’m excited to get right back at it.

I’ve taken a long look at the Honda Classic odds and spotted a number of individuals who immediately caught my attention. After doing some digging, I became even more captivated.

Without any further ado, here are five 2020 Honda Classic sleepers and value plays worth betting on.

Daniel Berger +3300

At +3300 to win the 2020 Honda Classic, Daniel Berger isn’t exactly a “sleeper” who isn’t on anyone’s radar. With that being said, he’s still a sincere value play when you look at the way his game has been trending.

Berger kicked the fall campaign off with back-to-back top 25s, and now he arrives at PGA National on the heels of back-to-back top 10s. Last time out at Pebble Beach, Daniel ranked 3rd in driving accuracy and 8th in SG: tee-to-green. He also checked in at #7 in scrambling, getting the ball up and down more than 70% of the time.

With all facets of his game clicking, I’m loving Berger’s chances.

Emiliano Grillo +6600

Emiliano Grillo is another one of the “Class of 2011” young guns I’m targeting this week. Unlike Berger, Grillo didn’t graduate high school in Palm Beach Gardens less than five miles away from the Champion’s Course. However, like Berger, Grillo should stroll into PGA National with loads of confidence in store.

The 27-year-old Argentinian erased a streak of three missed cuts with a T3 at the Puerto Rico Open this past week. His strong play at Coco Beach included hitting 75% of the greens in regulation and contributing 22 birdies to his scorecard. In terms of how that could potentially translate to this week’s venue, know that Emiliano finished 8th at the 2018 Honda Classic.

If Grillo can start matching up his premium ball striking with above-average putting on a more consistent basis, this kid could become a force to be reckoned with.

Wyndham Clark +6600

Before you pass over Wyndham Clark’s name on the Honda Classic betting sheet, let me tell you about a couple of facts regarding his golf game.

Wyndham clocked in at #8 in average ball speed in 2019, so we know he absolutely mashes the ball off the tee. Clark’s best attribute is his proficiency with his flat stick, ranking third on the PGA Tour in total putting a season ago.

The former Cowboy-turned-Duck is coming off back-to-back top-20 showings, plus he finished 7th at the 2019 Honda Classic. If you can digest all of that data and not throw a flier on Wyndham to win this week, perhaps you’re more disciplined than I am.

Lee Westwood +6600

Lee Westwood is turning 47 in April and is supposed to be “over the hill” at this point in his career. Apparently, nobody sent Lee that memo because the 25-time winner on the European Tour has played some spectacular golf over the last three months.

Westwood has surged from #67 in the OWGR all the way up to #30 since the middle of November, and he continues to prove that his game can travel all over the globe. After “top-10’ing” in Turkey and South Africa, Lee took down a stellar field to win in Abu Dhabi.

Long known as one of the best iron players in the world, Westwood drove the ball beautifully at the WGC in Mexico City en route to tying for 22nd. On top of hitting the third-most fairways, Lee’s putter cooperated nicely (T-11th in putts per GIR).

There aren’t many tracks on the PGA Tour I’d fancy “Westy’s” chances at, but the Champion Course at PGA National is near the top of that shortlist.

Russell Henley +10000

Russell Henley conquered the “Bear Trap” back in 2014, and he’s cracked the top 25 at the Honda Classic in each of the last two years. Given his lack of dependability, I thought his +8000 price tag at both BetOnline and Bovada seemed fair.

Nevertheless, when I saw him at +10000 to win at MyBookie, I felt good about pulling the trigger. This is a prime example of why you want to compare odds at all of the top golf betting sites before you start firing away.

Henley isn’t some “world-beater” you need to invest in at all costs, but he’s absolutely a Honda Classic sleeper to keep an eye on. Getting into contention over the weekend at the Genesis Invitational undoubtedly got his blood pumping, and he’s got great memories here from beating Rory McIlroy in a playoff to claim his second victory on tour.

Even a tiny wager could prove to be worth your while.

Going Away

I’ll be keeping tabs on how Emiliano Grillo and Lee Westwood pan out, and I could see Wyndham Clark and Russell Henley both doing some damage.

One thing I definitely won’t be doing is sleeping on Daniel Berger.

I began the week by addressing the odds and predicting a winner, and now I’ve discussed some Honda Classic sleepers. I don’t know about you, but I’m ready to shift gears into fantasy golf.
