It’s time for the Florida Swing on the PGA Tour. The first stop, the Cognizant Classic in the Palm Beaches.
Formerly known as the Honda Classic, the Palm Beach Gardens event changed its name but returns to PGA National’s The Champion Course. Chris Kirk is the defending champion, but past champs Rory McIlroy and Rickie Fowler are also in the field looking to get their first Tour win of the year.
The Champion ranks No. 7 in Florida on Golfweek’s Best list of public-access courses in each state, and it ties for No. 69 on the list of top resort courses in the U.S.
Here’s a look at the best photos from the PGA Tour’s 2024 Cognizant Classic.
