2026 Cognizant Classic: TV schedule, streaming info, how to watch, tee times

The 2026 Cognizant Classic in the Palm Beaches begins this week at PGA National’s Champion Course in Florida. Here’s everything you need to know to watch the PGA Tour tournament, including a full Cognizant Classic TV schedule, streaming information and complete tee times for the first and second rounds once they are released.

How to watch Cognizant Classic

After several exciting weeks out west that saw a win by Scottie Scheffler and a near-miss by Rory McIlroy, the PGA Tour heads to Florida this week for the Cognizant Classic.

PGA National’s Champion Course, which hosted the 1987 PGA Championship, has hosted this week’s PGA Tour event, formerly the Honda Classic, since 2007.

This year the tournament is sandwiched in between four Signature Events, and as a result many top players are sitting out. It also has suffered a rash of withdrawals early this week, including by top players Ben Griffin and Adam Scott, as well as last week’s Genesis winner Jacob Bridgeman.

The top-ranked players in the field now are Ryan Gerard (26th) and European Ryder Cup star Shane Lowry (31st).

But the Cognizant Classic will also feature five-time major winner Brooks Koepka, who is making the third start of his PGA Tour return this week. Koepka will be looking to take advantage of the relatively weak field to add an early highlight to his comeback.

NBC and Golf Channel will provide TV coverage of the 2026 Cognizant Classic, while PGA Tour Live on ESPN+ will offer streaming coverage and featured group coverage all week long. Peacock will air simulcasts of NBC’s coverage.
