The PGA TOUR's Florida Swing begins this week with the 2025 Cognizant Classic, which gets underway from The Champion Course at PGA National Resort and Spa on Thursday, Feb. 27. Austin Eckroat recorded his first career PGA Tour victory at this event last year but is a 50-1 longshot to repeat, according to the latest 2025 Cognizant Classic odds. 

Shane Lowry, a major winner and three-time PGA Tour champion, is the 20-1 favorite. He's followed by Russell Henley (22-1), Sungjae Im (22-1) and Sepp Straka (22-1) on the PGA odds board. Eckroat has missed the cut in four of his past five starts on tour but is priced at +140 (risk $100 to win $140) to finish inside the top 30 this week. The 2025 Cognizant Classic first-round tee times begin on Thursday at 6:45 a.m. ET. 

Before locking in your 2025 Cognizant Classic picks, you NEED to see the golf predictions and projected leaderboard from the proven computer model at SportsLine, considering its MASTERY of calling golf tournament. In fact, it's nailed 13 majors, three last year alone, and three straight Masters!

One major surprise the model is calling for at the Cognizant Classic 2025: Russell Henley, a four-time PGA Tour champion and one of the top favorites, stumbles this week and barely cracks the top five. Another surprise: Denny McCarthy, a 40-1 longshot, makes a strong run at the title. He's a target for anyone looking for a HUGE payday! McCarthy is coming off a T-5 finish at the Genesis Invitational and is ranked 22nd in scoring average (69.25).
