In [11], Zhu, Li and Deng introduced the definition of implicit degree of a vertex v, denoted by id(v). In this paper, we consider implicit degrees and the hamiltonicity of graphs and obtain that: If G is a 2-connected graph of order n such that id(u) + id(v) >= n - 1 for each pair of vertices u and v at distance 2, then G is hamiltonian with some exceptions.
