Many of the players from the Honda Classic will stay close by as the top golfers in the world unite at the WGC-Cadillac Championship this weekend. The field will consist of the top-50 from the Official World Golf Rankings, the top-30 from the FedEx Cup standings, top-20 from the European Tour and the top two from the Asian Tour, Japan Golf Tour, PGA Tour of Australia and Sunshine Tour.

This will be the ninth consecutive season that this event is being held at Dural and the par-72, 7,481-yard course has seen the victors walk away with a score of double-digits under par each year until 2014 when only three participants were under par. Patrick Reed was the winner in that installment, carding a four-under despite a second-round 75 and defeated both Bubba Watson and Jamie Donaldson by a single stroke. The tour will still be seeking its first multiple winner this year and there will be nine golfers going for that second victory this week. Let’s take a look at some players who could show up in South Florida and tear up the course this weekend.

Players to Watch:

Bubba Watson: (+1300) Watson has played just four tournaments in this young season, but has met expectations with a top-25 finish each time with his worst showing being a 14th at the Northern Trust Open. He also is the winner from the last WGC event in November when he shot an 11-under, shooting 14-under on his par-5s. Coming back to this course should also allow him to play some of his best golf as he has been the runner-up at Dural in two of the past three seasons; sandwiching those around an 18th back in 2013. His driving distance (303.6 yards per, 14th on tour) remains elite and he has also posted a mark of 1.32 strokes gained from tee-to-green, good enough for ninth on tour.

Matt Kuchar: (+3000) Kuchar is a regular at the top of the leaderboard in almost every event he enters and he’s placed in the top-13 at three of the past four outings at the Cadillac Championship. This season he is a perfect 6-for-6 in cuts made and has been in the top-25 in five of the tourneys. Kuchar is one of the few players who can consistently put up solid scores despite not having elite numbers off the tee or on the green, but he is one of the better short game golfers with a sand save percentage of 64% (22nd on tour) and a scrambling percentage of 73.9% (2nd on tour). He is a safe play who should have a chance at adding to his seven career PGA wins.

Jason Dufner: (+6000) Dufner has not been playing up to his usual high level with missed cuts in his previous two tournaments, but tied for 10th at the first WGC event this year and had finished in ninth last year at Dural. His accurate driver (75.7%, 2nd on tour) will give him a chance each week and he has gained 0.97 strokes from tee-to-green (20th on tour). If he is able to hit 70% or more of his GIR, look for Dufner to have a chance at taking home the trophy come Sunday.

Luke Donald: (+5500) Donald has not been on the same level that he once was with a missed cut in three of his past four events, but his recent play suggests that he is getting back to his old stroke as he shot a 69 before being cut at the Northern Trust open and then finished with a 66 on Sunday at the Honda Classic where he placed 7th.

His performances at the WGC-Cadillac Championship has also been solid as he is coming off a 25th-place finish last year and was sixth in both 2011 and 2012. He may not be the player that finished in the top-10 of the FedEx cup standings for three consecutive years between 2010 and 2012, but he still has some great scores in him and should factor in this week.

Anirban Lahiri: (+20000) After dominating the Professional Golf Tour of India and the Asian Tour for years, Lahiri has begun to show off his talents on the European Tour with two wins on the season. He finished 28th at the WGC event in November and has played to a stroke average of 69.31 over in Europe this year behind 74.7% of greens hit in regulation. The 27-year-old looks poised to begin making more of a mark on U.S. soil and this is the perfect week to do so with such a strong field.

Iowa State: Are They The Underdogs To Look For In March Madness?

They may be defined as “underdogs” or “Cinderella teams”, a term that is usually saved for teams that have little to no chance of winning even a single game during the NCAA Tournament. Teams like Loyola Marymount (1990), George Mason (2006), Davidson (2008), VCU (2011), UConn (2014), and Loyola Chicago (2018) come to mind when conversations turn toward the most surprising tournament runs in recent memory.
