Formerly the Honda Classic, the Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches was held for the third time Feb. 26-March 1.
It was played at PGA National in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, where the Honda Classic was played since 2007.
Since it was not a PGA Tour signature event, and the week before the Arnold Palmer Invitational and the Players Championship, a number of star players took the week off.
In a stunning finish, Nico Echavarria won for the third time on the PGA Tour. He trailed by three shots with three holes to play, but Shane Lowry made back-to-back double bogeys on 16 and 17.
Echavarria finished at 17-under, which was good for a two-shot win.
It had a $9.6 million purse.
