Early highlights included Max McGreevy producing one of the shots of the week — a remarkable double eagle from 246 yards on the par-5 third, the first albatross recorded at PGA National in this event since 2007. Around the course players kept the fireworks going, with several chip-ins and bunker hole-outs as the leaderboard tightened throughout the afternoon. Brooks Koepka briefly surged with early birdies while contenders including Taylor Moore, Nicolai Højgaard, and others kept the pressure on. The turning point came late when Shane Lowry made a charge with five birdies in a five-hole stretch, jumping to the top of the leaderboard and building a late advantage. Despite the difficulty of the closing stretch at PGA National, Lowry held steady down the final holes to secure the victory, finishing 15-under par and claiming the 2026 Cognizant Classic title after an eventful and action-packed final round in Palm Beach Gardens.
