The Cognizant Classic once again finds itself at a crossroads in the new look PGA Tour schedule.
On the front side of its final week of February spot on the calendar, it’s preceded not only by back-to-back Signature Events, but also the WM Phoenix Open and Farmers Insurance Open, two very popular events on Tour.
On the back side, it’s followed by another Signature Event at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and the PGA Tour’s flagship event at the Players Championship.
It may not have the $20 million purse of those huge events, but it’s still enough to be life-changing, no matter who the winner is.
With many stars choosing to take the week off, Shane Lowry took advantage of the chance to play an event while sleeping at home. He was searching for his first individual win on the PGA Tour in seven years at an event he loves dearly.
Lowry has also dominated PGA National the past five seasons, despite not coming up with a victory. But he came up short once again at the Cognizant, falling victim to the famous Bear Trap with back-to-back double bogeys.
Nico Echavarria capitalized by hanging on to win his third PGA Tour title.
Below is a breakdown of what everyone in the field earned this week in South Florida. The tournament has a $9.6 million purse with $1.78 million going to the winner.
