Griffin Favored at Cognizant Classic Amidst Mixed Form
23 Feb
Summary
- Cognizant Classic 2026 runs February 23 to March 1.
- Ben Griffin leads odds despite recent inconsistent performance.
- Jacob Bridgeman is second favorite after Riviera win.
The Cognizant Classic 2026 is scheduled to take place from February 23 to March 1 at the prestigious Champion Course of PGA National Resort in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. This event marks the return to a full field after a three-week hiatus, following two consecutive Signature events.
Ben Griffin is currently the favorite to win the tournament according to the latest odds. Despite being the highest-ranked player participating this week, Griffin's recent performance has been inconsistent, with no top-ten finishes this year, contrasting with his three victories in the previous year.
Jacob Bridgeman has surged to second in the betting odds, priced at +1700. His strong performance is attributed to his recent win at Riviera. Bridgeman was also the joint runner-up at last year's Cognizant Classic, narrowly missing victory by two strokes to Joe Highsmith.
Other prominent golfers considered by oddsmakers to be strong contenders include Adam Scott, Shane Lowry, and Rasmus Hojgaard.
