The PGA Tour steps foot in the Sunshine State this week, starting at PGA National's Champion Course for the Cognizant Classic.
Earlier in the week, the field was altered as Adam Scott, Ben Griffin and Jacob Bridgeman all withdrew, leaving no players ranked inside the world's top 25 - a stark contrast to the Genesis Invitational last time out which had all of the world's top ten present.
American Ryan Gerard and Ireland's Shane Lowry are now the two highest-ranked players and among the favorites for the title.
Gerard tees off the first at 12:11pm on Thursday, then at 7:21am from the tenth on Friday. Lowry has the same tee times, but reversed (7:21am Thursday and 12:11pm Friday).
Eyes will also be on home favorite Brooks Koepka, who is looking to improve on his PGA Tour return. The former LIV Golf man will get underway from the first at 12:23pm on Thursday and then 7:33am on Friday from the tenth.
