Following Rory McIlroy`s victory at the rain-delayed Players Championship, the PGA Tour moves to Palm Harbor, Florida, for the Valspar Championship. This tournament will be held at the Innisbrook Resort`s Copperhead Course, commencing on the first day of spring. A field of 156 golfers will compete for a portion of the $8.7 million prize money.
The Copperhead Course is famous for the `Snake Pit,` a challenging three-hole segment consisting of the 16th (par-4), 17th (par-3), and 18th (par-4) holes. This stretch is notorious for significantly impacting players` scores. Last year`s champion, Peter Malnati, navigated the `Snake Pit` flawlessly with three birdies to secure a two-stroke victory over Cameron Young.
