29 February - 3 March 2024
Chris Kirk will be eager to become the second golfer to win back-to-back
Cognizant Classic titles after Jack Nicklaus who won it in 1977 and 1978.
What to know about Kirk
The American star has won six times on the PGA Tour since turning professional in 2007 and he also earned three victories in the Korn Ferry Tour.
Kirk's best major finish is a fifth place at the 2022 PGA Championship with his compatriot Justin Thomas winning the tournament.
Latest news
The 2023 PGA Tour Courage Award winner has been out of action since he participated in the Genesis Invitational earlier this month - missing the cut.
The man nicknamed Captain Kirk is currently ranked 27th on the Official World Golf Rankings and his best OWGR ranking is the 16th spot.
Why Kirk is among the favourites
All eyes will be on Captain Kirk as he returns to PGA National Resort and Spa where he won the 2023 Cognizant Classic in a playoff over Eric Cole.
Winning last month's 2024 Sentry Tournament of Champions has surely boosted Kirk's confidence and he will be confident of winning this weekend's tournament.

"I'm so grateful for my sobriety, I'm so grateful for my family, I'm so grateful for everyone that has supported me throughout the past three or four years."
