The 2021 Valspar Championship at Innisbrook Resort finally gets underway today in Florida. Here’s what you need to know to watch the first round on Thursday.
Previewing Valspar Championship Round 1
Paul Casey has a chance to do something very few golfers have ever done this week at the Valspar Championship: a PGA Tour three-peat. Should he win, though, it would have taken him a year longer than usual to accomplish the feat. Casey stormed back into relevance to win the 2018 Valspar. Then in 2019 he did it again.

In 2020, Casey’s chance at back-to-back-to-back was thwarted by the cancelation of the tournament amid the Covid-19 pandemic, but now the Englishman finally gets his chance at history. Casey will begin his first round bright and early at 7:50 a.m. ET on Thursday alongside Jason Kokrak and Gary Woodland.
