This week’s Honda Classic field may not feature an all-star group, but it does have a very unique pair taking the PGA National Champion Course — twin brothers Parker and Pierceson Coody will face off in Palm Beach this week.
Parker earned a spot in the tournament in Monday’s qualifier, marking his second career PGA TOUR event. His brother Pierceson ranks at No. 241 in the OWGR and earned his spot through a sponsor exemption.
"This will be the first PGA TOUR event that they play together. So it's a special one."

The two brothers played for the University of Texas, and were part of their national-championship-winning golf team last year. They are the grandsons of 1971 Masters winner Charles Coody and are 23 years old, just beginning their professional careers as they attempt to earn a PGA TOUR card.
Pierceson’s odds to win are set at +18000, and Parker is installed at +80000 at DraftKings Sportsbook. The Honda Classic tees off on Thursday, February 23 from PGA National in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. It is a full-field event with 144 players teeing off, and the top 65 and ties making the cut after Friday’s play for the weekend.
