Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches 2026: Full Prize Money Payouts at PGA National
Find out how much winner Nico Echavarria and others earned at the Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches.
Big money was on the line at the Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches — and it was Nico Echavarria who walked away with the lion’s share.
The Colombian banked a hefty $1.728 million from the $9.6 million purse after sealing his third PGA Tour title in dramatic circumstances at PGA National in Palm Beach Gardens.
The payday not only boosts his career earnings significantly, but also punches his ticket to The Masters next month — a reward that could prove even more valuable in the long run.
Echavarria’s victory came after a shocking late collapse from Shane Lowry, who led by three with three to play before costly double bogeys at the 16th and 17th flipped the script.
While the Irishman faltered, Echavarria stayed rock-solid, producing bogey-free golf over the weekend on one of the Tour’s most demanding layouts.
That composure under pressure secured his PGA Tour hat-trick — and the biggest cheque of the week.
Lowry's tough double-double-par finish saw him squander $1 million as he finished in a three-way tie for second alongside Taylor Moore and Austin Smotherman. The trio took home $726,400.
