Cognizant Classic Betting Favorites
Going into this week’s Cognizant Classic at PGA Nationalthree-time PGA Tour winner Ben Griffin is the betting favorite with +1400 odds to win.
Griffin broke through in a big way in 2025, picking up his first three PGA Tour wins. Before any of those wins, Griffin finished T4 at last year’s Cognizant Classic. The hot streak earned him a spot on the US Ryder Cup team at Bethpage Black. It also earned him a Player of the Year nomination.
So far in 2026, Griffin has yet to find the winner’s circle. But in five starts, he has made five cuts, with his worst finish (T41) coming at the Genesis Invitational last week. He earned a T19 at the season-opening Sony Open in Hawaii.
Following Griffin on the list of odds is last week’s winner, Jacob Bridgeman (+1800). Bridgeman stopped a loaded Rory McIlroy THE win the Genesis Invitational in one shot. Bridgeman already has two additional top-10 finishes early in the season.
Bridgeman is neck and neck with one of Europe’s Ryder Cup heroes, Shane Lowry (+1800).
Completing the five balls are Ryan Gerard AND Adam Scottwho won 4th place in Genesis, with +2000 odds to win. Brooks Koepka is back on the field again this week, opening with +3500 odds to win.
