The PGA Tour travels back to Florida this week for the 2021 Valspar Championship. Here’s everything you need to know to watch the tournament.
Valspar Championship preview
When Paul Casey arrived at the Valspar Championship three years ago, he hadn’t won a PGA Tour event since his first trip to the winner’s circle way back in 2009. A lot can change in a few years.

Casey won that week to end his drought, then returned in 2019 to capture his second-straight Valspar title and third Tour victory. The veteran Englishman’s three-peat chances were thwarted last year when the Covid-19 pandemic canceled the tournament. But now Casey is back at Innisbrook Resort’s Copperhead course to attempt his third win in a row.
But Casey’s goal won’t be easily achievable given the stellar field that has assembled in Palm Harbor, Fla. World No. 1 Dustin Johnson is in town ready to shake off the bad feelings from a missed cut at the Masters. His nearest competitor in the world ranking will also tee it up this week: reigning Players champion Justin Thomas.
They’ll be joined by the likes of Phil Mickelson, Patrick Reed and Justin Rose, to name just a few. You can find the full list of tee times for Thursday and Friday below, along with complete information about streaming the Valspar Championship online or watching the action on TV.
