The PGA Tour’s Florida Swing kicked off this week with its annual stop at PGA National and the Cognizant Classic, offering a $9.6 million purse with $1,728,000 to the winner.
Nico Echavarria is taking home the big check as the last man standing after a stunning collapse from Shane Lowry, who had never made back-to-back double bogeys in his PGA Tour career until 16 and 17 on Sunday when he had a three-shot lead with three to play. The Colombian, on the other hand, played a bogey-free round of 66 including a key birdie at the par-3 17th.
Here are the final payouts from the 2026 Cognizant Classic.
