Cognizant Classic 2024 Betting Preview

Golf Previews

28 February 2024 By Dunkel Index

The PGA Tour begins its Florida swing this week with the Cognizant Classic in Palm Beach Gardens. Formerly known as the Honda Classic, this is another event that is always popular on the schedule. The overall field for the Honda Classic isn’t as great as it has been in recent events, but that can also make for better betting opportunities.

The PGA National Resort and Spa (Champions Course) is once again the host of this tournament, and the par is 71. There have been some very low scores posted at this event in the past, and that could be what takes place this weekend as well.
