A popular classic once again finds himself at a crossroads on the new PGA Tour schedule.
On the front side of her last week of February’s place on the calendarit is preceded not only by back-to-back signature events, but also the WM Phoenix Open and Farmers Insurance Open, two very popular events on Tour.
On the flip side, it’s followed by another signature event at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and the PGA Tour’s main event at The Players Championship.
It may not have the $20 million purse of those big events, but it’s still enough to change lives, no matter who the winner is.
With many stars opting to take the week off, Shane Lowry took advantage the ability to play an event while you sleep at home. He was looking for his own First individual win on the PGA Tour in seven years in an event that he loves very much.
Lowry has also dominated PGA National the past five seasons despite falling short of a win. But he bounced back at Cognizant, falling victim to the famous side-by-side double-cheek Bear Trap.
Nico Echavarria won his third PGA Tour title.
Below is a recap of what everyone earned on the field this week in South Florida. The tournament has a purse of $9.6 million with $1.78 million going to the winner.
