The Cognizant Classic kickstarts the Florida swing of the PGA Tour, what many golf fans consider the unofficial start of the road to the Masters.
The 123-player field features 13 players currently set for a trip to Augusta. Ryan Gerard is the lone top 30-ranked player in the field, and considered one of two favorites to win.
He will go up against defending champion Joe Highsmith, as well as Brooks Koepka who is making his third PGA Tour appearance since returning from the LIV Golf circuit earlier this year. Here’s how to watch Koepka and Co. this week at PGA National.
