American stars Jordan Spieth and Joel Dahmen were seen sharing a joke on the driving range ahead of the PGA Tour's Cognizant Classic at PGA National in Florida on Wednesday

Joel Dahmen could not help but point out the amount of security surrounding Jordan Spieth on the driving range at the Cognizant Classic, and the PGA Tour star offered a quick response

After one round of action at the 2025 Cognizant Classic, Jake Knapp is sitting on a score that would be low enough to win this tournament most years. Through 18 holes, however, it is clear that this year at PGA National is nothing like those in the past.

Jordan Spieth is playing at the PGA National for the first time as a pro, aimed at preparing for the Masters. Post-wrist surgery, he's seeking to regain his form and improve his world ranking after dropping out of the top 50.

A pair of fan favorites, Spieth and Fowler, have dropped to Nos. 70 and 95, respectively, in the Official World Golf Ranking amid difficult stretches. Spieth is still working his way back from August wrist surgery and made his season debut earlier this month.

The PGA Tour's annual Florida Swing begins this week when players travel to PGA National for the 2025 Cognizant Classic. Headlined by a slew of stars, the Cognizant Classic represents the final opportunity for those not otherwise qualified to play themselves into next week's signature event at the Arnold Palmer Invitational.

The PGA Tour starts the Florida swing, unofficially the start of the road to the Masters. The field isn't particularly strong but it received a late entry from Jordan Spieth, who has never played the tour event at PGA National.
