The PGA TOUR heads back to Florida’s PGA National Resort for the Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches. Austin Eckroat returns to defend his title after finishing last year at 17-under, and is looking to become the first player to go back-to-back at this event since Jack Nicklaus in 1977-78. The Cognizant Classic is also the final chance for players to earn their way into the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard via the Aon Next 10 and Aon Swing 5. Jordan Speith is making his debut at PGA National, as he continues his comeback from wrist surgery. Other notable names include Russell Henley, who won the event in 2014, World number 18 Shane Lowry, Sepp Straka, ad Rickie Fowler.

    Every year the competition gets better and better. To be on the tour you better be super good these days. No half baked games allowed anymore.

    That was a fantastic achievement carried out in such a relaxed style – that's a super solid swing and mentality. Well done and keep hitting those pins !

    Solide round of golf! For all fantastic iron shots as the fundamental part therefore. But, sorry for the thought, it's a 12 under round and not a 13 under. 59 is especially if carded on a 72 course. Martin Kaymer carded ad a young professional such a round on the European challenge tour. After a bogey on the first hole (tee shot out of bounds, birdie with the second ball), he scored a 59! That's for me a real 59 with 14 birdies and one bogey. And the course wasn't easy! But Knapp still played a fabulous round of golf. He has a fantastic swing!

    Great analysis. Newcomers often wonder if it's too late to navigate the financial market, but the market is always unpredictable. Trading has more advantages than simply holding, so it's important to learn before diving in. Active trades are necessary to ride the market's waves. Thanks to Sophia E. Haney’s insights, daily trade signals, and my dedication to learning, I've been increasing my daily earnings, managed to grow a nest egg of around 127k to a decent 732k. Kudos to the journey ahead!

    Great drinking game when watching this video. Take a drink / shot every time you hear “Jake Knapp”

    My best score is +13 but after watching this outstanding performance from the young man, I'll be dammed if I'm not shooting +10.

    Fantastic play no doubt ….. but apart from the 15th, the course for players of his level looks like shooting fish in a barrel. Wide fairways, bunkering around greens is minimal. On 18th he hit driver and an easy looking 6 iron on a par 5. I am honestly not trying to take anything away from his 59 because it was fantastic. The point I’m trying to make is that it really shouldn’t be possible if they play courses appropriate to their skill level. There were only 22 players over par from a 140 field and the number of sub 70 rounds is incredible.

    How could this guy be so cool and calm to such score?

    Beautiful languid tempo, a swing to copy, total control of the ball in that round, so impressive.

    Lamest reaction and ovation on 18 I could ever imagine for a 59… how is the pga still profitable?!
