2025 Cognizant Classic: Live projected cut line as reigning champion, Gary Woodland in trouble
The Cognizant Classic of the Palm Beaches is projected to have one of the lowest cut lines in the history of the PGA Tour event hosted at PGA National in Palm Beach Gardens. After Jake Knapp's historic 59 in Thursday's first round, dozens of others golfers in the field have shot below par and pushed the cut line lower than ever before in the course's tournament history. The average cut over the last 18 tournaments held at PGA National was 2.3-over par. The mid-afternoon projected cut of 4-under par was one stoke below Mark Wilson's winning score (5-under) in 2007, the first year the tournament was held at PGA National. Cognizant Classic: Overseed has softened PGA National and many golfers are not happy Last update: 4:06 p.m. The current cut line is 4-under according to the tournament's website. There are still many players left to finish the second round today but a few notable players are in trouble of missing the cut to start play Friday. The top 70 make the cut. Gary Woodland (-2) Austin Eckroat (-1) Eric Cole (-1) David Skinns (E) Cameron Young (E) Luke Donald (+4) Eric J. Wallace is deputy sports editor for The Palm Beach Post.

Cognizant Classic 2025: Best bets, odds, who misses the cut?
Cognizant Classic 2025: Best bets, odds, who misses the cut? Goodbye, California. Hello, Sunshine State! The PGA Tour kicks off its Florida Swing on Thursday, moving to the southeast after spending four of the last six weeks in California. The Arnold Palmer Invitational and the Players Championship will offer up two of the larger purses of the season in the coming weeks. But up first is the Cognizant Classic in the Palm Beaches — formerly the Honda Classic — at PGA National Resort in Palm Beach Gardens. It's another weaker field following the Mexico Open and no one betting on the tournament should be upset about that. There is tons of value all over the board as we get closer to first round play on Thursday. Let's dig in. All odds via BetMGM Who's winning the 2025 Cognizant Classic? Kurt Kitayama (+4500) 2 Units The Mexico Open saw Kitayama miss the cut last week, but don't let that cloud your judgment here. We're a long way from Vallarta. The 32-year-old is an exceptional course fit this week, ranking in the top 10 on Tour in four of the five key indicators. Among all golfers who've played at least eight rounds at PGA National, Kitayama (+1.78) ranks first in true strokes gained at Data Golf — though he hasn't played here since 2022 when he finished third. Lucas Glover (+5500) 0.5 Units We're throwing a bit of a dart here, but stick with me. Glover has finished T35 or better each of his last three times at PGA National with 0.88 true strokes gained. He's also top 30 on Tour in four of the five key indicators this week. Most importantly, he's already shown up on the leaderboard in weaker fields, putting up a T3 at Pebble Beach and T21 in the Sony Open. Who's a lock to finish Top 10? Davis Thompson (+350) 2 Units Thompson keeps getting close to breaking through this year, starting strong to begin the week only to fade on Saturday and Sunday. He got a lot closer his last time out with a T13 in a stacked Genesis Invitational field. Thompson's putting is still a concern, but as long as he keeps sticking the ball on the green, he's going to have plenty of birdie opportunities this week. Luke Clanton (+375) 1 Unit Clanton has missed the cut in two of his three starts this season. His other event was a T15 at the Farmers Insurance Open. All of which is to say, take this next sentence with a grain of salt. Across the five Course Fit indicators at PGA National, Clanton ranks No. 2, No. 2, No. 1, No. 4 and No. 95. It's a very small sample size. Do with it what you will. One-and-done Russell Henley Is this pick an aggressive reaction to Patrick Rodgers shooting 67-68-66-72 to finish T25 at the Mexico Open? Yes, it sure is. Do we care? Nope. The purse this week is $9.2 million. Any finish outside the Top 10 isn't going to do us much good. So we'll ride with Henley, who finished T41 here last year, but put together a T3 and T8 in his two previous starts at PGA National. Henley has a true strokes gained of 1.44 on this course, per Data Golf, and has strong finishes at majors over the last two years. Please, Russell. We need you, buddy. Who is missing the cut? Min Woo Lee (+180) 1 Unit I'm ignoring Lee's T2 at the Cognizant last year and focusing on his current form, which features a 48th-place finish at the Genesis and a rather awkward course fit at PGA National. Jordan Spieth (+140) 1 Unit Speaking of bad course fits, Spieth has negative strokes gained in four of the five key indicators this week. He's likely here to work some bugs out of his game after missing the cut at the Genesis, but that seems like a tall task at an event Spieth has never entered before.

Cognizant Classic 2025: Odds, favorites, predictions at PGA National
The PGA Tour's Florida swing kicks off with the Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches. The event begins Thursday at PGA National in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, with $9.2 million on offer for the 144-player field. Cognizant Classic 2025: How to watch, streams, field and prize money TV times and more for this week's Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches. Golf Channel Staff , Golf Channel Staff , Looking for a little something yourself? betting expert Brad Thomas has a couple of wagers to consider: When looking for a player who excels at tough courses, McCarthy is one of the names that rises towards the top. He is coming off a top-five finish at the Genesis Invitational, which this year was played on the ever-difficult Torrey Pines South Course. Despite Torrey Pines' demanding length and demand for high club-head speed, McCarthy, who has neither, was able to succeed. He did it with strong iron play and a dialed-in putter. This week, the lack of length won't be a concern as there's a premium on hitting fairways over distance. McCarthy is accurate off the tee and an underrated ball striker in general. Add in his great putting prowess; he's live to win this week. It's not often the odds-makers give the tournament favorite plus odds to finish inside of the top 20. Given the volatility of PGA National, it makes sense. However, Lowry's performances here have been anything but volatile. In his last three trips, he's finished inside the top five. He had a close-call, runner-up finish here in 2022. He's the best golfer in this field, and getting him at +120 to beat 120 other golfers feels like stealing. We also get the added SG: Home Life boost, given the fact that Lowry is a nearby resident and gets to basically play in his backyard. Shane Lowry: +2000 Sungjae Im: + 2200 Sepp Straka: +2500 Russell Henley: +2500 Daniel Berger: +2800 Taylor Pendrith: +2800 Min Woo Lee: +3000 Kurt Kitayama: +3500 Denny McCarthy: +3500 Davis Thompson: +3500 Ben An: +4000 Keith Mitchell: +4000 Ben Griffin: +4000 Jordan Spieth: +4500 Cameron Young: +4500 J.J. Spaun: +4500 Alex Smalley: +4500 Luke Clanton: +5000
