Top Things to Know About the PGA Valspar Championship
- The PGA Valspar Championship offers more than an opportunity to watch top golf pros battle at one of only five Florida stops on the PGA Tour. The March 16-22 event is held at the Innisbrook Resort in St. Pete-Clearwater, home of America’s Favorite Beaches and many opportunities for great dining and outdoor adventure. There are several days of golf events and tournaments preceding the Valspar, but most are private events. The official tournament begins on Thursday, March 19 and runs through Sunday, March 22.
- Innisbrook’s 900 wooded acres include the grand stage for the tournament, the Copperhead course, which will be lined with an incredible variety of food and beverage options each day, and will host a concert on Saturday evening, March 21, starring country music stars Tyler Hubbard and Lee Brice.
- The competition offers drama that even casual golf fans can enjoy. The Copperhead course (named for the venomous snake) is ranked No. 7 for difficulty on the PGA Tour. It’s long, at more than 7,200 yards, and features undulations and tight fairways lined with pine trees. The course’s challenging final three holes can make for last-minute changes in the leaderboard.
- New for 2026: the Valspar Championship will celebrate everyday heroes (healthcare workers and first responders with ID) by offering free "Heroes Appreciation Tickets" to the first 500 heroes each day, Thursday, March 19 - Sunday, March 22. (If you miss the first 500, "heroes" can still get $20 off per ticket.) There will also be Heroes Appreciation Suite on the 8th green, with free beverages and food.
Entertainment
