If Austin Eckroat can finish on top of the leaderboard this week at the 2025 Cognizant Classic, he'll become the first golfer since Jack Nicklaus (1977-78) to win this event in back-to-back years. Eckroat will have to stave off a number of 2025 Cognizant Classic contenders if he wants to rewrite the history books.
Jordan Spieth was a late entry Friday into the Cognizant Classic in the Palm Beaches, a field that includes 16 of the top 50 in the current world ranking along with several local favorites and former winners. But for the fourth time in the past five years, the event will not include a top 10 golfer.
Jordan Spieth has committed to play in the PGA Tour's Cognizant Classic next week. The PGA Tour's Florida swing begins next week at the PGA National Resort in Florida.
