The PGA TOUR will stay in Florida this week for the 2023 Valspar Championship.
The Copperhead Course at Innisbrook Resort is a par 71 measuring 7,340 yards and features Bermudagrass greens overseeded with Poa Trivialis. Infamous for its difficulty, the track will be a tough test for golfers as trouble lurks all over the place. Holes 16, 17 and 18 — also known as the “Snake Pit” — make up one of the toughest three-hole stretches in golf and should lead to a captivating finish on Sunday.
The field is comprised of 156 golfers teeing it up. Due to the string of designated events on TOUR with the top players competing frequently over the last six weeks, the Valspar Championship field has taken a hit in 2023.
But as we saw with the Honda Classic, field strength doesn’t always matter when it comes to producing an exciting golf tournament. Some notable players in the mix include Justin Thomas, Matt Fitzpatrick, Jordan Spieth, Keegan Bradley, Tommy Fleetwood, Justin Rose and Taylor Montgomery.
