The 2026 Cognizant Classic in the Palm Beaches final leaderboard is headed by winner Nico Echavarria, who earned the PGA Tour win in the event at PGA National Resort's Champion Course in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.
Echavarria earned his third-career PGA Tour title, pulling in front of Shane Lowry in the final holes, as the former Razorback played nearly flawless golf on the weekend. Lowry found the water twice in the closing holes of the round, turning what seemed like a dominant lead into a two-shot final margin.
Echavarria won the event on 17-under 267, with Lowry sharing second with Taylor Moore and Austin Smotherman.
Echavarria won the $1,728,000 winner's share of the $9,600,000 purse.
