Colombia's Nico Echavarria claimed his third PGA Tour title—and first U.S.-based win—at the 2026 Cognizant Classic, finishing at 17-under par with a bogey-free weekend capped by a final-round 66. Shane Lowry built a three-shot lead before consecutive double bogeys on the 16th and 17th handed the $1.728 million victory, 500 FedExCup points, and a 2026 Masters invitation to Echavarria from the record $9.6 million purse.
