The 2026 Cognizant Classic in the Palm Beaches begins this week at PGA National’s Champion Course in Florida. Here’s everything you need to know to watch a PGA Tour tournament, including the full Cognizant Classic TV schedule, live streaming information and complete tee times for the first and second rounds when they’re released.
How to watch Cognizant Classic
After an exciting couple of weeks out west where Scottie Scheffler won and Rory McIlroy missed, the PGA Tour heads to Florida this week for the Cognizant Classic.
PGA National’s Champion Course, which hosted the 1987 PGA Championship, has hosted this week’s PGA Tour event, formerly the Honda Classic, since 2007.
This year the tournament is one of four Signature Events, and as a result many top players are sitting out. It also suffered a string of withdrawals earlier this week, including top players Ben Griffin and Adam Scott, as well as last year’s Genesis winner Jacob Bridgeman.
The top players in the field now are Ryan Gerard (26) and European Ryder Cup star Shane Lowry (31).
But the Cognizant Classic will also feature five-time major winner Brooks Koepka, who makes the third start of his PGA Tour comeback this week. Koepka will be looking to take advantage of a weak field to add a highlight to his comeback.
NBC and Golf Channel will provide TV coverage of the 2026 Cognizant Classic, while PGA Tour Live on ESPN+ will provide broadcast coverage and featured team coverage throughout the week. Peacock will broadcast the NBC simulcast.
