The PGA Tour’s Florida Swing kicks off this week with the Cognizant Classic at PGA National Resort in Palm Beach Gardens, FL. The tournament will run from Thursday, February 26 through Sunday, March 1 and features a total purse of $9.6 million.

Fresh off his dominant win at the 2026 Genesis Invitational, newly minted OWGR No. 20 Jacob Bridgeman has opted to withdraw from the Cognizant Classic as of Monday morning. Ben Griffin, the initial favorite to win the tournament at Hard Rock Bet Sportsbook, has also opted to withdraw. As a result, the event will feature zero golfers in the OWGR’s Top 20.

Shane Lowry now leads the pack as the favorite to win at +1200, trailed by a trio of contenders in Ryan Gerard (+1600) and twin brothers Nicolai Højgaard (+2000) and Rasmus Højgaard (+2000).

Below is a look into the entire field, accompanied by each golfer’s odds to win the 2026 Cognizant Classic at Hard Rock Bet.
