PGA Tour Shock: Model Fades Shane Lowry at Cognizant Classic
The Florida Swing is officially underway and already the storylines at the Cognizant Classic are turning heads across the golf world.
The PGA Tour has landed in Palm Beach Gardens for the Cognizant Classic, a key early stop in this crucial stretch of the season. And while big names are in the field, it is not just the players grabbing attention, it is the predictions. A powerful projection model has simulated this tournament 10,000 times and the results are raising serious eyebrows.
Let’s start with the headline. Shane Lowry, the 2019 Open Champion and one of the betting favorites this week, is being projected to finish outside the top three. That is a bold call. Lowry has the experience, he has the pedigree and he knows how to handle tough conditions. But models do not deal in reputation. They deal in numbers, trends and performance data. And right now, the data suggests he may not dominate this leaderboard.

Instead, the spotlight is shifting elsewhere. Daniel Berger is emerging as a serious contender according to the simulations. At longer odds, Berger is being viewed as a strong value pick, especially on a course that rewards precision and smart course management. PGA National, particularly the infamous Bear Trap stretch, demands discipline. One mistake can derail a round. And players who are sharp with their approach shots and avoid bogeys tend to thrive here.
There is also growing interest around Nicolai Højgaard and his twin brother Rasmus Højgaard. Young, fearless and increasingly consistent, they represent the next generation pushing into the spotlight. And then there is Brooks Koepka, continuing his return to the PGA Tour spotlight after competing elsewhere in recent seasons. Every swing he takes is being watched closely.
This tournament matters. Not just for the trophy, but for momentum. The Florida Swing often shapes the tone heading into the Masters. Strong finishes here can define a season. And with FedExCup points on the line, every round counts.
So as the leaderboard begins to take shape, the big question remains. Will the favorites hold firm, or will the data-driven predictions prove prophetic?
Stay with us for complete coverage of the Cognizant Classic and every twist in this evolving PGA Tour season.
