Joe Highsmith entered a rare club of PGA Tour winners accomplishing a feat at the 2025 Cognizant Classic that had not been seen in nearly a decade.

Highsmith is the first player since Brandt Snedeker at the 2016 Farmers Insurance Open to make a cut on the number and go onto win a tournament. It's the ninth time such a comeback has occurred on the PGA Tour in the last 50 years.

Joe Highsmith is taking that check home after an incredible weekend on the Champion Course. The 24-year-old made the cut on the number then fired rounds of 64-64 to seize the title. Brandt Snedeker was the last player to win after making the cut on the number, at the 2016 Farmers Insurance Open.
