The PGA Tour’s road trip around the Sunshine State ends this week as the Valspar Championship at Innisbrook’s Copperhead Course in Palm Harbor will act as the final stop of the Florida Swing.
There are plenty of big names in the field including two-time winner Sam Burns (2021, 2022), Xander Schauffele, Justin Thomas, Jordan Spieth, Brian Harman, Cameron Young, Tony Finau, Sungjae Im and Min Woo Lee.
Valspar Championship: Picks to win, odds
Defending champion Taylor Moore returns hoping to repeat what Burns did in 2022.
The Copperhead Course at Innisbrook is a par-71 track measuring 7,340 yards.
The total purse is $8.4 million with the winner taking home $1.512 million (plus 500 FedEx Cup points).
Let’s take a look at 10 players with some of the best course history over the last five seasons (note: the event was canceled in 2020 due to COVID-19, so we included 2018).
