With the West Coast Swing over, the PGA Tour heads to Florida this week for the 2026 Cognizant Classic in the Palm Beaches, and an American Ryder Cup star is leading 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 Gambling Favorites
Heading into this week’s Cognizant Classic at PGA National, three-time PGA Tour winner Ben Griffin is the gambling favorite with +1400 odds.
Griffin broke through in a big way in 2025, claiming his first three PGA Tour victories. Before either of these wins, Griffin finished T4 at last year’s Cognizant Classic. The hot streak earned him a spot on the U.S. Ryder Cup team at Bethpage Black. It also earned him a nomination for Player of the Year.
So far in 2026, Griffin hasn’t found the winner’s circle again. But in five starts he has scored five times, with his worst finish (T41) coming at last week’s Genesis Invitational. He earned a T19 at the season-opening Sony Open in Hawaii.
After Griffin on the odds list is last week’s winner, Jacob Brugman (+1800). Bridgeman held off a charging Rory McIlroy to win the Genesis Invitational by one shot. Bridgeman has achieved two additional top-10 finishes early in the season.
Bridgeman is neck and neck with one of Europe’s Ryder Cup heroes, Shane Lowry (+1800).
Completing the top five is Ryan Gerard And Adam Scottwho took 4th place at the Genesis, with a winning probability of +2000. Brooks Koepka is also back in the field this week and opens with +3500 odds.
