Cognizant Classic 2024 Golf Odds, Betting Preview And Picks

Following a delay posting picks at last week’s Mexico Open, we posted a betting winner and have more this week below for the Cognizant Classic 2024 golf tournament at PGA National in Palm Beach Gardens, FL. The former Honda Classic is now renamed the Cognizant Classic in the Beaches, and I provide a full betting preview with additional picks and information you can bet on in my PGA Tour coverage in Forbes.

There may be fewer tournament matchup picks posted in 2024 with coverage across various platforms. I’ll try to add more picks and props and update more coverage as time allows and I dig deeper into strokes gained stats and weekly tournaments. Reach me directly at [email protected] for questions and select picks I bet on beyond what’s posted here.
