There might be a lack of star power in the 2023 Honda Classic field, but that does not mean there are less opportunities to find value with 2023 Honda Classic bets when the event tees off at PGA National Resort on Thursday. Sungjae Im, who won the tournament in 2020, is listed as the 17-2 favorite in the latest 2023 Honda Classic odds. Im shot 6-under par at the historically difficult Champion Course at PGA National in 2020, while Matt Jones finished with a winning score of 12-under-par in 2021 and Sepp Straka went 10-under-par last year.

Poston in its best bets to win the 2022 John Deere Classic. That bet hit at +5500, and for the entire tournament, McClure’s best bets returned almost $1,100. At the 2022 Masters, McClure’s model was all over Scottie Scheffler’s first career major championship victory heading into the weekend.
In addition, McClure’s best bets included Collin Morikawa winning outright at the 2021 Open Championship, even though he was listed as a…
