Tiger Woods raises expectations after Honda Classic; Justin Thomas wins in playoff

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. – Justin Thomas continued his roll on the PGA Tour with a playoff victory Sunday in the Honda Classic.

Tiger Woods looks like he could get on a roll, too.

While Thomas walked away from the windswept Champions Course at PGA National with the championship hardware after defeating Luke List with a birdie on the first playoff hole, Woods left with a nice haul of confidence after posting his best finish on the PGA Tour since 2015.

Woods finished at even-par after rounds of 70-71-69-70 – his third-round 69 being his first round in the 60s on the PGA Tour since 2015 – and finished eight shot behind in 12th – his best finish since he tied for 10th in the 2015 Wyndham Championship.

Woods, who missed a year after spinal fusion surgery, had finished in a tie for 23rd in the Farmers Insurance Open in January and missed the cut in last week’s Genesis Open.
