How to watch the Cognizant Classic on Thursday

Last season, Shane Lowry didn’t end his winless streak, but he did well on the PGA Tour. He scored two second-place finishes in 12 of his top 25 games. One of those top 25 finishes came at last year’s Cognizant Classic, where he finished T11.

In two starts so far this season, Lowry has continued to play well with a T8 at the AT&T Pebble Pro-Am and a T24 at last week’s Genesis Invitational.

Now the 2019 Open champion turns back to PGA National’s Champion Course, where he hopes to secure his first Tour win since winning the 2024 Zurich Classic in New Orleans alongside Rory McIlroy.

Lowry’s tournament begins Thursday at 7:21 am ET.
