Information technology company Cognizant has become the new title sponsor of the PGA TOUR’s long-running South Florida event formerly known as the Honda Classic, which will now become the Cognizant Classic.
The Cognizant Classic will return to PGA National Resort’s Champion Course the week of February 26–March 3, as part of the FedExCup regular season. The sponsorship deal runs from 2024-30.
“On behalf of the PGA TOUR, our thanks to Cognizant for their commitment to the PGA TOUR’s South Florida event through 2030,” said PGA TOUR Commissioner Jay Monahan. “Through this partnership, the Cognizant Classic will continue to be one of the premier sports and entertainment events in the Palm Beaches while maintaining its role as a charitable leader within the community.”
With support from Jack and Barbara Nicklaus, the tournament’s primary beneficiary continues to be The Nicklaus Children’s Health Care Foundation, which bolsters initiatives that advance and enhance the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of childhood diseases and disorders, as well as other not-for-profit programs and projects aimed at paediatric health care and health-related services.
“Cognizant is pleased to extend its PGA TOUR relationship by taking over the title sponsorship of this terrific event,” said Cognizant’s Chief Executive Officer Ravi Kumar S. “The Cognizant Classic provides an excellent branded experience for our clients and dovetails with our current sponsorship commitments to diversity, inclusion and social responsibility.”
