If you’ve watched any of the Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches this week, it’s more likely than not you’ve seen dozens of birds roaming the grounds at PGA National.
They look like ducks, but then again they don’t. So what are they?
They’re Egyptian geese, and while they may seem innocent enough, they are known to attack alligators from time to time. And they’re a fixture at the Cognizant Classic as much as the fans and golfers are during tournament week.
Think they’re too cute to go after golfers? Look at this photo from 2017, when European Ryder Cup captain (and TV analyst this week) Luke Donald was running for his life.
Not so cute now, are they?
Nevertheless, here’s a look at photos of Egyptian geese through the years at the Cognizant (formerly Honda) Classic.
