The first of the PGA Tour's Florida Swing events takes place at PGA National with the Cognizant Classic.
The standout name in the field is World No.2 Rory McIlroy, who is making his first appearance since a T24 at the Genesis Invitational two weeks ago. The 34-year-old is attempting to head into April's Masters in the best possible form, and he will be hoping this week's event, which he won in 2012 when it was named The Honda Classic, will offer him the progress he needs with that aim in mind.
McIlroy is in a strong group over the opening two rounds. He will play alongside defending champion Chris Kirk and the winner of last week's Mexico Open, Jake Knapp. The three go out at 7.40am ET (12.40pm GMT) in round one, with a 12.40pm ET (5.40pm GMT) start in round two.
Another eye-catching group features three-time PGA Tour winner Tom Kim, 2022 US Open champion Matt Fitzpatrick and Justin Rose, who won the Major in 2013. The trio begin their opening rounds at 12.51pm ET (5.51pm GMT), before teeing it up at 7.51am ET (12.51pm GMT) in the second round.

Elsewhere, Sepp Straka, Rickie Fowler and Sungjae Im are in a group beginning at 12.40pm ET (5.40pm GMT) in round one, with a 7.40am (12.40pm) tee time in round two.
