The PGA TOUR returns east with the Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches, the first event of the Florida Swing. Contested at PGA National Resort (The Champion Course), home of the famed "The Bear Trap," the Cognizant Classic represents the final chance for players to earn their way into the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard via the Aon Next 10 and Aon Swing 5.
Austin Eckroat returns to defend his maiden victory after carding the event’s lowest winning score in relation to par since 2003. Jordan Spieth will be making his debut at PGA National as he continues his comeback from wrist surgery last August. Other players back in action include Jupiter, Florida, resident Rickie Fowler, 2014 champion Russell Henley and world No. 18 Shane Lowry.
