The Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches returns in 2025 at PGA National, with a number of big names present for the tournament in Florida.

Last year, Austin Eckroat secured his maiden PGA Tour title in his 50th appearance, as the American cruised to a three shot victory on a Monday finish due to heavy rain that washed out much of Sunday's action.

Along with the names playing, this week's tournament features a bumped-up prize fund from last year. The 2024 prize money stood at $9m, with winner Eckroat pocketing $1.62m.
