PGA National Is Home To The Renowned Honda Classic
February 25 - March 2, 2008 As the new annual host of the PGA Tour’s Honda Classic each March, PGA National Resort & Spa once again opens its legendary doors to the best and brightest in professional golf. Established as the Jackie Gleason Inverrary Classic in 1972, it changed its name to the Honda Classic in 1982. The 2007 Classic at PGA National drew record-breaking attendance and offered a purse of $5.5 million and a winner’s share of $990,000. The 2008 Honda Classic drew a tougher field and provided Ernie Els with his first win in 3 years and 5 months. In past years, it has welcomed some of the biggest names ... including Jack Nicklaus, Tom Weiskopf, Larry Nelson, Johnny Miller, Nick Price, Vijay Singh, and Fred Couples.
