The Honda Classic, to be played February 28th to March 6th, 2011, has been a part of the PGA Tour since the early 1970s. Although it has always been based in Florida, it wasn't until 2007 that it moved to the PGA National Resort in Palm Beach Gardens. Today, the tournament is played on the Champion Course, the site of the 1983 Ryder Cup, the 1987 PGA Championship, as well as the permanent home for the PGA Seniors' Championship from 1982-2000. Read my reviews of the Honda Classic for all the details (and ticket sales) and the PGA National Resort & Spa.
