Sunday morning at PGA National heralds the dramatic finale of the 2025 Cognizant Classic in the beautiful Palm Beaches. For those eager to follow the gripping action, the complete list of the day’s tee times is conveniently placed at the end of this article.
Saturday’s third round saw PGA National’s famed resilience show its teeth. As the wind subtly intensified and the greens turned to glass, the notorious Bear Trap fiercely challenged those who dared to lead the pack.
Look no further than Taylor Montgomery as a prime example. Standing at the par-3 15th hole, he suffered an unfortunate splash into the water with his initial shot. His attempts from the drop zone resulted in another heart-sinking moment, landing his ball perilously between two rocks. Eventually, he managed to move on after another drop, but he had to settle with a quadruple bogey, slipping from his once shining lead. Remarkably, Montgomery showcased resilience by carding two birdies over his final trio of holes, completing at 13-under, just three strokes behind the top spot.
Meanwhile, Jesper Svensson faced his own ordeal at 15. After sending his first tee shot over the green into a bunker, Svensson subsequently encountered a watery fate reminiscent of Montgomery’s, walking away with a triple bogey six. His resolve failed him this time; bearing pars at 16 and 17, a bogey on 18 left him six strokes off the lead.
Michael Kim, too, felt the Bear’s grip. From the 15th tee, his ball veered off course, coming to rest in the mud following a fortuitous bounce off a rock wall. This twist of fate spared him from the drop zone. Courageously shoe-less, Kim played his next move out of the muck, landing across the green, and finished with a bogey. With calm focus, he maintained his form to birdie the 18th, concluding the day just one shot behind 54-hole leader Jake Knapp at 15-under.
Not everyone fell victim to the Bear Trap’s ferocity. Players like Russell Henley at 14-under, Rickie Fowler at 13-under, and Daniel Berger at 12-under remain in contention, each aiming to seize the trophy on Sunday.
