The Cognizant Classic added a quartet of strong names to the field for next week's tournament with commitments by a trio of top-25 players along with top-ranked amateur Luke Clanton on Monday.
The event begins Feb. 27 at PGA National in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla.
Clanton, a junior at Florida State who is from nearby Hialeah, Fla., will be in the field on a sponsor exemption as he attempts to secure his PGA Tour card. He needs one point to reach the 20 necessary in the PGA Tour University Accelerated system. Clanton narrowly missed in his first opportunity when he missed the cut by one stroke at the WM Phoenix Open earlier this month.
The Cognizant will mark Clanton's fourth PGA Tour start this season. While he has missed two of three cuts in 2025, he did tie for 15th at the Farmers Insurance Open.
Clanton, ranked 93rd in the Official World Golf Ranking, recorded a pair of runner-up finishes at the RSM Classic and the John Deer Classic last year, as well as two other top-10 finishes on tour.
He will be joined at PGA National by 17th-ranked Russell Henley, No. 21 Billy Horschel and No. 22 Sungjae Im, who also committed to the event Monday.
Henley, who won at PGA National in a playoff in 2014, will make his 11th start in the event. Im is also a former champion, claiming his maiden PGA Tour victory in 2020.
Horschel has been a regular at PGA National since starring at the University of Florida. He has five top-20 finishes in 12 previous starts in the tournament, with his best result a tie for fourth in 2017.
