The Florida Swing ends this week at the Valspar Championship, and what a swing it’s been. It started in South Florida where Shane Lowry collapsed over the last few holes and handed Nico Echavarria the trophy. Then onto Bay Hill where Akshay Bhatia erased a five-shot deficit with nine holes to play to win.
Last week, of course, was the Players Championship where Ludvig Aberg hit balls in the water on consecutive holes and Cameron Young took home his biggest prize.
The Copperhead Course at Innisbrook Resort boasts a strong field with nine players ranked inside the top-25, including Xander Schauffele (7), J.J. Spaun (12) and Justin Thomas (14). Viktor Hovland (18) is the defending champion. They’re all playing for the $9.1 million purse, with the winner taking home $1.638 million for a victory.
Matt Fitzpatrick (15) is at the Valspar after such a close call last week at TPC Sawgrass where he bogeyed the 72nd hole to hand Young the Players title. Fitzpatrick hit his drive right, had to punch out and was not able to get up and down to send the championship into a playoff.
Brooks Koepka, Rickie Fowler, Jordan Spieth, Blades Brown and Luke Clanton are among some of the other notables competing.
Here’s the rundown of what each player will earn who makes the cut. Check back here Sunday after play is complete for updates.
