List lost in a playoff last year at the Honda Classic and finished 10th in 2016. He's one of the best ball-strikers yet to collect a win on Tour.

Grillo's admitted love for PGA National shows, as he's improved over each of his three appearances, including an eighth-place finish last year. He's gained strokes with approach shots in four straight events.

The Florida native has played well in his home state throughout his career, including two top-10s at the Honda Classic in the last three years.

Scott won this tournament in 2016 and hasn't finished worse than 14th since 2014. He's entering in great form, with two top-10s in his past three events.

The 2017 Honda Classic champion struggled last week in Mexico but is only two tournaments removed from a win in Phoenix. Fowler leads the field in strokes gained on Bermuda grass over the last 100 rounds.

Simpson finished fifth last year in his first start at PGA National. He's an incredible performer on Bermuda grass, proven by his dominant Players Championship win last season.

Garcia has gained 12.5 strokes combined on approach shots in his last two tournaments. He's made the Honda Classic cut in five straight years, which includes a runner-up result in 2016.

Koepka was fifth in strokes gained: tee to green last week in Mexico, but a poor putting performance limited him to a 27th-place finish. He remains a serious threat to win every week he tees it up.

Woodland's already collected six top-10s this season in nine tournaments. He's made five straight cuts at the Honda Classic and was the runner-up in 2016. 

The defending champion enters this week as the heavy favorite to win again. The argument can be made that JT's the best player in the world at the moment, and a win this week would strengthen that notion.
