The last of the PGA Tour’s Florida Swing events takes place with the Valspar Championship at Innisbrook Resort's Copperhead Course.
This week’s tournament may not have anything close to the profile of last week’s Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass, but there are still some world-class players in the 155-man field.
Players are competing for a prize money payout of $.8.4m, and the tee times have been confirmed for the opening two rounds.
Two stars who came close to glory at last week’s event, before Scottie Scheffler closed out the victory, are Xander Schauffele and Brian Harman. The pair finished just one shot behind Scheffler, and they are grouped together for the opening two rounds, along with Taylor Moore, who claimed his first PGA Tour title at last year's Valspar Championship.
The three tee it up at 1.23 ET (5.23pm GMT) on Thursday, with a start time of 8.13 ET (12.13pm GMT) the day after.
Brian Harman is looking for his fourth PGA Tour win
There are plenty of other high-profile names in the field, and another group that looks strong features two-time winner of the trophy, Sam Burns, former World No.1 Justin Thomas and Sungjae Im, who is aiming for his third win on the PGA Tour. The three begin at 8.13 ET (12.13pm GMT) on Thursday, with a 1.23 ET (5.23pm GMT) tee time on Friday.
Sam Burns is a two-time winner of the tournament
Another group filled with ability sees Team Europe Ryder Cup star Sepp Straka, six-time PGA Tour winner Tony Finau and Cameron Young, who ranks 23rd in the world, tee it up at 8.24 ET (12.24pm GMT) in the first round, with a 1.34 ET (5.34pm GMT) tee time in the second round.
Elsewhere, WM Phoenix Open champion Nick Taylor is in a group with two players who have four Major wins between them, Keegan Bradley and Jordan Spieth, with the three beginning their challenge at 1.34 ET (5.34pm GMT) on Thursday, before going out at 8.24 ET (12.24pm GMT) the following day.
