where is the valspar golf tournament

The Valspar Championship golf tournament is held at the Copperhead Course of Innisbrook Resort and Golf Club in Palm Harbor, Florida. This iconic PGA Tour event, just north of St. Petersburg and Tampa, draws top players to its tree-lined fairways and the infamous "Snake Pit" finishing holes.

Venue Details

Innisbrook Resort sits on 900 wooded acres, offering a par-71 layout stretching 7,352 yards with narrow fairways, small greens, and thick rough that tests precision over power. The Copperhead Course has hosted the tournament annually since 2000, making it a Florida staple alongside stops like The Players Championship.

  • Exact Address : 36750 US Hwy 19 N, Palm Harbor, FL 34683
  • Course Designer : Larry Packard (opened early 1970s)
  • Signature Feature : Snake Pit (holes 16-18: par 3, two par 4s)

Current Event Timing

As of March 22, 2026, the 2026 Valspar Championship is wrapping up its main tournament rounds (Thursday, March 19 to Sunday, March 22), part of a full event week from March 17-22 marking its 25th anniversary. Defending champion Viktor Hovland returns to the "Most Colorful PGA TOUR Tournament," with a $8.7 million purse and FedExCup points on the line. Earlier editions, like 2025, saw Hovland win here too.

"I just think it's one of those great golf courses... narrow fairways, small greens, thick rough, firm and fast greens... this is just a great place." – Viktor Hovland, 2025 Champion

Why It Stands Out

Fans love the vibrant atmosphere in St. Pete-Clearwater, America's Favorite Beaches area, with on-site food, family activities, and a Saturday concert (e.g., Tyler Hubbard and Lee Brice in 2026). It's one of five Florida PGA stops, emphasizing shot-making amid water hazards and the Snake Pit drama—where positioning off the tee reigns supreme. Past champs like Peter Malnati (2024) highlight its history of surprises.

This setup creates edge-of-your-seat finishes, blending elite competition with resort vibes for an unforgettable golf escape.

TL;DR : Copperhead Course at Innisbrook Resort, Palm Harbor, FL—ongoing through March 22, 2026.
