THE CHERVÒ EXPERIANCE
HONDA CLASSIC
Kicking off the Florida Swing, the Honda Classic returns to the Sunshine State on February 23rd through 26th, 2023. The exhilarating annual event held at PGA National Resort and Spa attracts people from all over the country to experience top-of -the-line golf with some of the best players from all over the globe. The show stopping Champion Course was redesigned in 2014 and is famous for “The Bear Trap,” a challenging three-hole stretch designed by the Golden Bear himself, Jack Nicklaus.
Chervo ambassador Kurt Kitayama finished the Honda Classic 2022 in 3rd place shooting a 6-under 64 to take an early one-shot lead over Rory Sabbatini. Kitayama hit 11 of 14 fairways, 14 of 18 greens and broke par for the first time in five rounds at the Honda.. Kitayama started on the back nine, opened with three consecutive birdies, then had the run of four consecutive birdies — capped by rolling in a 20-footer from just off the green on the par-4 6th, his 15th hole of the day.
