The US Ryder Cup star leads the favourites

With the West Coast Swing over, the PGA Tour heads to Florida this week for the 2026 Cognizant Classic at the Palm Beaches, and the US Ryder Cup star leads the betting favorites. Here’s everything you need to know about the Cognizant Classic odds and other betting favorites to start the week.
Cognizant Classic betting favorites
We head to this week’s Cognizant Classic at PGA National, a three-time PGA Tour winner Ben Griffin is a betting favorite +1400 odds to win.
Griffin broke out big in 2025, picking up his first PGA Tour victory. Before any of those races, Griffin finished T4 at last year’s Cognizant Classic. The hit game earned him a spot on the US Ryder Cup team at Bethpage Black. It also made him named as the best player.
So far in 2026, Griffin has yet to find the winner’s circle again. But in five starts, he’s made five cuts, with his worst finish (T41) coming at last week’s Genesis Invitational. He scored a T19 at the season-opening Sony Open in Hawaii.
Following Griffin on last week’s list of potential winners, Jacob Bridgeman (+1800). Bridgeman held off a charging Rory McIlroy to win the Genesis Invitational by one shot. Bridgeman already has two other top-10 finishes early in the season.
Bridgeman is neck and neck with one of Europe’s Ryder Cup champions, Shane Lowry (+1800).
To fill the top five there are Ryan Gerard again Adam Scott4th place finisher in Genesis, dd000-2000 win. Brooks Koepka is back in the field this week, too, opening with +3500 odds-to-win.
