Overview

  • $1 million is directed to the Nicklaus Children's Health Care Foundation, the primary charitable beneficiary of the Cognizant Classic.
  • $1.5 million will be split among 10 Koepka-selected, PGA Tour–approved charities, including ALS Bridge Foundation, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Quantum House, and the UnLIMBited Foundation.
  • The remaining $2.5 million will be equally distributed to beneficiaries chosen by eligible PGA Tour members after a selection and vetting process, with funds to be disbursed via PGA TOUR Charities, Inc.
  • Under reinstatement terms, Koepka is ineligible for the Player Equity Program for five years and will not receive FedEx Cup Bonus payments this season, with outside estimates suggesting the financial impact could reach tens of millions of dollars.
  • Koepka is set for his third start back at the Cognizant Classic after a T56 at the Farmers Insurance Open and a missed cut at the WM Phoenix Open, with reports citing significant early putting struggles.
