Cognizant Classic prize money breakdown on the PGA Tour.

Here’s how the 2025 Cognizant Classic prize money was distributed on the PGA Tour.

The 2025 purse at The Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches rose by $200,000 to $9.2m with winner Joe Highsmith taking home $1.656m in addition to 500 FedEx Cup points, a two-year PGA Tour exemption, and a coveted spot in the field for The Masters.

The victory was a first on the PGA Tour for Highsmith, who remarkably made the cut on the number, before going on to shoot 64-64 in the last two rounds to top Jacob Bridgeman and J.J. Spaun by two shots.

Fortunes went in reverse for early tournament leader Jake Knapp, however. After opening up with a 59 – just the 15th sub-60 in PGA Tour history – made an untimely triple bogey on Sunday, derailing his title hopes and consigning him to tie for sixth place.

Here’s how much every player won at PGA National…
