How can fans tune into the Valspar Championship? Here is everything you need to know about the PGA Tour’s next stop.
Five of the top 20 players in the Official World Golf Rankings (OWGR) are in the field at this week’s Valspar Championship, as American Taylor Moore looks to defend his title.
Xander Schauffele and Brian Harman, fresh off their runner-up finishes at The Players, are among those in the field on the Copperhead Course at Innisbrook.
Schauffele last played in this event in 2022, tying for 12th. Harman, meanwhile, has played in this event nine times, struggling to find any success.
Keegan Bradley, Sam Burns, and Spieth are also in the field, as are Justin Thomas, Lucas Glover, and Min Woo Lee.
Like PGA National, Bay Hill, and TPC Sawgrass, the Copperhead Courses poses a real challenge. The “Snake Pit,” the 16th, 17th, and 18th holes, stumps players every year, proving to be one of the most challenging closing stretches seen anywhere on the PGA Tour.
Moore won last year’s event at 10-under. His birdie on the 16th hole helped him win by a stroke while others, like Spieth, stumbled around him.
