The Cognizant Classic of the Palm Beaches is shaping up to be a thrilling spectacle, blending the promise of young talent with the seasoned prowess of PGA Tour veterans. And let's not forget the spotlight on Brooks Koepka, who returns to the tournament after a three-year hiatus due to his stint with LIV Golf. His comeback is one of the major talking points, especially considering the field boasts seven players ranked in the top 50 of the Official World Golf Ranking.
Leading the pack are Ben Griffin, Ryan Gerard, and Shane Lowry, ranked 11th, 23rd, and 29th respectively. These players are sure to bring their A-game to the greens, with the rankings set to be updated post-Genesis Invitational.
Fans can also look forward to seeing familiar faces like Billy Horschel, Adam Scott, and local favorites Daniel Berger from Jupiter and Gary Woodland from Delray Beach. The tournament kicks off at the iconic PGA National on February 26, promising a week of intense competition and memorable moments.
