Where to watch Cognizant Classic 2026: TV schedule, coverage, live stream
The PGA Tour schedule moves east for the Florida Swing starting this week as the 2026 Cognizant Classic brings the Tour to Palm Beaches, where players will attempt to tame the Bear Trap on PGA National’s Champion Course.
After back-to-back marquee events – and another next week at the Arnold Palmer Invitational – many of the world’s best will take a week off, creating an opportunity for those in the field to secure a victory and/or valuable FedEx Cup points.
The betting favorite entering this week is Ryan Gerard, who already has two top 10 finishes this season and earned his first career victory last year at the Barracuda Championship. Other rising stars in the field include Michael Thorbjornsen, the Højgaard twins and Rasmus Neergaard-Peterson, all of whom will be looking to enter the winner’s circle and add to their strong early career resumes.
They will be challenged by some veterans looking to get back on track with notable names like Shane Lowry, Daniel Berger, Will Zalatoris, Max Homa, Tom Kim and Brooks Koepka all on the court. They are all looking to get back into the winner’s circle and become threats on the PGA Tour again. Koepka is particularly intriguing as he continues his quest for form upon his return from LIV Golf.
This battle between veterans and rising stars will be fascinating to watch this week at PGA National, and here’s how you can watch all the action this week in Palm Beaches.
