The PGA Tour culminated an action-packed four days at Ponte Vedra Beach, with an unfortunate lip out from Wyndham Clark that cost him his fourth win on the men’s circuit and Scottie Scheffler creating history at the 50th edition of THE PLAYERS Championship through his stunning victory. However, the weather was once again unforgiving, as TPC Sawgrass saw some delays in the gameplay because of the same. Now the Tour has headed towards the last leg of its Florida swing at the Valspar Championship.

The Tour pros will be teeing it off at the Copperhead Course from March 21st to 24th and will be competing for a whopping prize purse of $8.4 million. The course is popular for being one of the hardest tracks encountered all season. It will become harder to hit the ball if the tournament faces similar weather-related challenges that have been plaguing the events on the men’s circuit since the beginning of 2024.

Will the weather be kind to the Valspar Championship?
