Canadians on Tour, week of Feb. 21

Last week marked the first time in more than a year that no Canadians made the cut in a PGA Tour event. All five players entered had the weekend off.

This week, six are in the field at the Honda Classic. It was at this event in 2020 where Mackenzie Hughes began a turnaround with his game.

Coming into the tournament, he’d missed the cut in nine of his previous 11 starts and his past five consecutively. He went 66-66 on the weekend to end up second. Prior to that finish, Hughes was ranked 297th in the world. As he goes into this week’s tournament, he sits 52nd.
