Billy Horschel speaks after Round 1 of the Cognizant Classic (2026) at PGA National (Champion Course) and addresses the overseeding debate head-on. Horschel explains why the course can be a brutal test when it’s windy—but “gettable” when conditions are soft and calm—and adds key context: course setup isn’t always fully in the PGA TOUR’s hands.
He breaks down what’s changed over recent years (rough length, overseed vs. Bermuda lies), why he thinks 8–12 under is the ideal winning score range, and how a slight increase in rough this year can change decision-making off the tee. Plus: why Saturday’s weather could flip everything in a hurry.
