The 2024 Cognizant Classic was held at the PGA National Resort’s Champion Course, Palm Beach, Florida. Austin Eckroat took his first ever victory on the PGA Tour, steering clear of the field by over three strokes on the final day of the event.
The Cognizant Classic was delayed by one day due to inclement weather conditions, but Eckroat managed to keep his cool and power ahead toward victory. It was Min Woo Lee and Erik van Rooyen who took joint second place at 14 under par.
The Cognizant Classic, previously known as the Honda Classic, has been a staple on the PGA Tour since the 1970s. This year, the event also boasted a prize purse of $9 million.
Out of the $9 million prize purse, Austin Eckroat took home $1,620,000. Lee and Van Rooyen, who finished joint second, collected $801,000 each.
