Cognizant Classic 2026

The 2026 Cognizant Classic in the Palm Beaches kicks off this week at PGA National’s Champion Course in Florida.

How to Watch Cognizant Classic?

Following three exciting weeks out west, which included a win by Scottie Scheffler and a near-miss by Rory McIlroy, the PGA Tour returns to Florida this week for the Cognizant Classic.

Since 2007, this week’s PGA Tour event, formerly the Honda Classic, has been held at PGA National’s Champion Course, which also hosted the 1987 PGA Championship.

This year’s tournament is sandwiched between four Signature Events, therefore many of the top players are sitting out. It also experienced a spate of withdrawals early this week, including top players Ben Griffin and Adam Scott, as well as Jacob Bridgeman, last week’s Genesis champion.

Ryan Gerard (26th) and Shane Lowry, a European Ryder Cup star, are the current top-ranked players in the field.

The Cognizant Classic will also include Brooks Koepka, a five-time major winner who is making his third PGA Tour appearance this week. Koepka will attempt to capitalize on the relatively weak field to add an early highlight to his comeback.

NBC and Golf Channel will broadcast the 2026 Cognizant Classic, while PGA Tour Live on ESPN+ will provide streaming and featured group coverage throughout the week. Peacock will rebroadcast NBC’s coverage.
