Cognizant Classic Returns as Florida’s Premier Annual Professional Golf Tournament

Florida, with its year-round sun and scenic settings, is a perfect location for golf enthusiasts. Boasting some of the country’s top courses, Florida hosts numerous prestigious golf tournaments, solidifying its status as a PGA Tour staple. The eagerly awaited Cognizant Classic (formerly the Honda Classic), one of Florida’s classic PGA Tour events, is now on the horizon. 

Taking place in South Florida, the captivating Cognizant Classic features some of the world’s top professional golfers competing for the winner’s share of a $9,000,000 prize fund. Starting on February 26th and ending on March 3rd, the event unfolds at the famed PGA National Resort in Palm Beach Gardens, a tradition spanning over a decade.

The field of players defines every golf tournament, and the Cognizant Classic has evolved into a magnet for the PGA Tour’s brightest stars. Chris Kirk claimed last year’s victory, joining the ranks of recent champions such as golf celebrities Rickie Fowler, Justin Thomas, and Adam Scott. This year, Fowler has already committed, with more top-tier players likely to follow suit. 

Set against a classic Florida backdrop, the immaculately manicured par-70 course provides a stunning venue to witness dozens of the world’s best golfers compete in a stroke play event. As the PGA Tour resumes after a months-long hiatus, many are eying this tournament as a great way to spot which players will be in form for the upcoming majors.

While golf is the primary attraction, spectators can also enjoy a range of hospitality experiences, along with food and drinks available across the grounds. For those seeking to stay in one place, hospitality tickets grant access to premier dining venues with excellent views of the action.

Tickets for the Cognizant Classic are available for purchase online, with prices varying based on the chosen tournament day and hospitality package. For general admission, a weekly ticket package grants access to every day of the event for $209.
