With the West Coast Swing over, the PGA Tour heads to Florida this week for the 2026 Cognizant Classic in the Palm Beaches, and a U.S. Ryder Cup star leads the betting favorites. Here is everything you need to know about the Cognizant Classic odds and other betting favorites to start the week.
Cognizant Classic betting favorites
Heading into this week’s Cognizant Classic at PGA National, three-time PGA Tour winner Ben Griffin is the betting favorite with +1400 odds-to-win.
Griffin broke through in a big way in 2025, picking off his first three PGA Tour victories. Before any of those wins, Griffin finished T4 at last year’s Cognizant Classic. The hot streak landed him a spot on the U.S. Ryder Cup team at Bethpage Black. It also earned him a nomination for Player of the Year.
So far in 2026, Griffin hasn’t found the winner’s circle again. But in five starts, he’s made five cuts, with his worst finish (T41) coming at last week’s Genesis Invitational. He earned a T19 at the season-opening Sony Open in Hawaii.
Following Griffin in the odds list is last week’s winner, Jacob Bridgeman (+1800). Bridgeman held off a charging Rory McIlroy to win the Genesis Invitational by one shot. Bridgeman already has two additional top-10 finishes early in the season.
Bridgeman is neck-and-neck with one of Europe’s Ryder Cup heroes, Shane Lowry (+1800).
Filling out the top five are Ryan Gerard and Adam Scott, who earned a 4th-place finish at the Genesis, at +2000 odds-to-win. Brooks Koepka is back in the field this week, too, opening with +3500 odds-to-win.
