The Cognizant Classic 2026 will be played at the PGA National Resort’s Champion Course in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, from Thursday, February 23, to Sunday, March 1. This will be the first full-field event in three weeks, following two back-to-back Signature events.
According to the odds, Ben Griffin is the favorite to win the Cognizant Classic 2026. He is the best-ranked player this week but hasn’t been in the best form of late. While he claimed three wins last year, he has yet to make a top-ten finish this year.
Speaking of the other names, Jacob Bridgeman has jumped to second in the odds at +1700, thanks to his win at Riviera. Notably, he also finished as joint runner-up at the Cognizant Classic last year after falling two strokes short of Joe Highsmith. As for the others, Adam Scott, Shane Lowry and Rasmus Hojgaard are among the oddsmakers’ favorites this week.
