The 2026 Cognizant Classic in the Palm Beaches begins this week at the PGA National’s Champion Course in Florida. Here’s everything you need to know to watch the PGA Tour tournament, including a full Cognizant Classic TV schedule, streaming information and full start times for the first and second rounds as they are released.
How to watch Cognizant Classic
After an exciting few weeks out west, with a win by Scottie Scheffler and a near miss by Rory McIlroy, the PGA Tour heads to Florida this week for the Cognizant Classic.
The PGA National’s Champion Course, home to the 1987 PGA Championship, will host this week’s PGA Tour event, formerly the Honda Classic, since 2007.
This year the tournament is sandwiched between four Signature Events, resulting in many top players dropping out. It has also suffered a wave of withdrawals early this week, including by top players Ben Griffin and Adam Scott, as well as last week’s Genesis winner Jacob Bridgeman.
The top ranked players in the field are now Ryan Gerard (26th) and European Ryder Cup star Shane Lowry (31st).
But the Cognizant Classic will also feature five-time major winner Brooks Koepka, who makes the third start of his PGA Tour return this week. Koepka will look to take advantage of the relatively weak field to add an early highlight to his comeback.
NBC and Golf Channel will provide TV coverage of the 2026 Cognizant Classic PGA Tour live on ESPN+ offers streaming coverage all week and featured group coverage. Peacock will simulcast NBC’s coverage.
Below you will find complete information on how to stream or watch the tournament on TV.
