After a pair of entertaining stops at Pebble Beach and Riviera, the PGA Tour switches coasts this week for the Honda Classic in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. With the tournament taking place at PGA National's Champion Course, golfers are set to face a stiff challenge. Featuring hard-to-hit fairways, even-harder-to-hit greens and a potential round-killing stretch on holes 15, 16 and 17 known affectionately as the Bear Trap, PGA National has proved to be the most difficult Par 70 of all non-majors the last two years. In real life, it means that it will only take a score of around 10-under to win this thing. In terms of DFS, it could mean plenty of different strategies, but I tend to lean towards safe, accurate players who can rack up pars and avoid big mistakes. Sometimes it makes sense to target big-hitting birdie-makers, but on a course like this, I want ball-strikers who can hit straight, who are accurate with their approach shots and who can scramble when necessary. With that in mind, you can click through the gallery for my ideal Honda Classic DraftKings picks, and you can click here for sleepers to consider. (Getty)
Russell Knox, $9,000
Price: $9,000
Fading the "Big 4" (Adam Scott, Rickie Fowler, Justin Thomas and Sergio Garcia) can be risky, but with so many great options in the $7,500-$8,500 range, I like going with a balanced lineup this week. It's also a lot easier to fade those top four guys when Knox has just as good of an outlook despite being $2,000-$3,000 cheaper. You want a good statistical profile? He ranks 10th in driving accuracy, sixth in GIR percentage and fifth in birdie or better percentage. You want course history? He has finished second, third and 26th in his three appearances at PGA National. You want recent form? He has four Top-11 finishes in six starts this season. He'll likely be a popular play, but he's my pick to win. (Getty)
Tyrrell Hatton
Price: $8,500
There's a good chance Hatton flies under the radar because he has yet to play an event in the United States this season, but make no mistake about it: The 25-year-old Englishman, who finished fifth and 10th at the last two majors in 2016, is a burgeoning superstar. He has piled up an absurd streak of eight consecutive Top-25 finishes worldwide dating back to October, and while he doesn't have experience at PGA National, the fact that he ranks 12th on the European Tour in GIR percentage and 11th in scrambling bodes extremely well for his outlook.

Brendan Steele
Price: $8,100
Ranked fifth in the FedEx Cup Standings, Steele is eight-for-eight in made cuts this season with a win, three Top-10's and five Top-25's in five starts. Moreover, he has the skill-set you want here (eighth in strokes gained approaching the green, third in scrambling), which has translated to a pair of Top-15 finishes in his last two trips to PGA National.

Rafa Cabrera-Bello
Price: $8,000
Cabrera-Bello has never played here, but as one of the best middle-game players in the world (he was seventh on the European Tour in GIR percentage last year and is third this year), he should have success. Additionally, he enters with fine form, having racked up two Top-12's in his last three starts. (Getty)
Branden Grace
Price: $7,900
Though Grace missed the cut at the Honda Classic last year, it's worth noting that was his first tournament in the United States in over three months, whereas this year he finished 13th at the Sony Open in Hawaii last month and 22nd at the Genesis Open last week. He'll be more acclimated this time around, and I like him as a potential contrarian pick with Charles Howell likely to be a highly popular pick at $100 less. (Getty)
Danny Willett
Price: $7,800
It's never a bad thing when the cheapest player in your lineup is the defending Masters champion and No. 13 ranked player in the world. Though Willett hasn't played in the United States this year, he's coming off a fifth-place finish at the Maybank Championship, and at any course where accuracy and putting will be put at a premium, he has to go under strong consideration. Especially in this price range. (Getty)
Other Players I Like This Week: Daniel Berger ($8,900), Matthew Fitzpatrick ($8,000), Charles Howell ($7,800), Kevin Kisner ($7,700), Thomas Pieters ($7,700, Ollie Schniederjans ($7,600), Emiliano Grillo ($7,600) and Luke Donald ($7,600)
