The PGA Tour’s Florida Swing kicks off this week with its annual stop at PGA National and the Cognizant Classic. It’s offering a $9.6 million purse, with $1.728 million to the winner.
After a run of West Coast signature events, the Cognizant lands in a tricky spot on the calendar and no top-25 players are in the field. Ryand Gerard, at 26, is the highest entrant. It’s sparked chatter that the event could be on the chopping block as the Tour considers changes to its schedule.
Brooks Koepka lives nearby and is in the field for his third event since returning to the PGA Tour, and he said earlier this week that he’s eager for opportunity to get back into contention. Gerard entered as the betting favorite, but our experts say that given the largely unproven field, this event seems wide open. Austin Smotherman shot an opening-round 62 to grab the early lead. You can follow the action all weekend on our leaderboard.
Here are the final payouts from the 2026 Cognizant Classic. This article will be updated Sunday at the conclusion of play.
