The Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches 2024

Formerly known as the Classic in The Palm Beaches, the Cognizant Classic is a professional golf tournament held in south Florida on the PGA Tour. Originally known as Jackie Gleason's Inverrary Classic, it was established in 1972. Before a scheduling modification in 2021, it was often the first Florida event held in late winter, right after the "West Coast Swing."

In 1973, National Airlines sponsored Gleason, and in 1981, American Motors Corporation (AMC) provided support. Known as the Honda Classic, American Honda Motor Company (Honda) served as the title sponsor from 1982 to 2023. Cognizant was revealed as the new title sponsor towards the end of 2023.

Austin Eckroat won the 2024 event, defeating Min Woo Lee and Erik Van Rooyen with a score of 263, under 17 and by a margin of strokes.

Cognizant Classic 2024 History

The National Airlines Open Invitational, the tournament's forerunner, was held at the Country Club of Miami in Hialeah in late March for just three seasons (1969–1971). A month earlier in 1972, at the Inverrary Country Club (East Course) in Lauderhill, the Gleason tournament took its place on the schedule. At the time, it was one of the biggest events on the circuit, with a $260,000 purse at launch and a $52,000 winner's share.

Due to sponsorship from American Motors Corporation, the event was renamed the "American Motors Inverrary Classic" in 1981. After Honda replaced American Motors Corporation as the new sponsor, the event was known as the "Honda Inverrary Classic" for the next two years. The competition relocated to TPC Eagle Trace in Coral Springs in 1984, and it stayed there until 1991.

The venue for the event was the Weston Hills Golf & Country Club in Weston from 1992 to 1995. After that, it made a second appearance in Coral Springs, first in 1996 at the TPC at Eagle Trace and subsequently in 1997–2002 at the TPC at Heron Bay. The competition relocated to Palm Beach Gardens in 2003. It was held there at the Country Club at Mirasol until 2006, and in 2007, it moved to the Champion Course at PGA National Resort & Spa.
