Designed by renowned golf architect Larry Packard, the course is 7,200 yards of pure beauty with tree lined fairways and stunning lakes which are home to an abundance of magnificent Floridian wildlife. Although it may not be the longest course on the tour, the undulating fairways have the effect of making the course play significantly longer providing a challenge for even the longest hitters on tour. The hardest hole on the course is the monster 607 yard, par 5 5th which has bunkers in play off the tee and if found make it almost impossible to reach the green in two. Finding the fairway does not guarantee an easy second shot as it is blind up the hill and to the left meaning sensible play is to play towards the trees and have a wedge in from there.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yourgolftravel.com\/innisbrook-resort\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-26263 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.yourgolftravel.com\/19th-hole\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Coppoerhead-Course.jpg\" alt=\"Copperhead Course\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/19th-hole.yourgolftravel.com\/19th-hole\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Coppoerhead-Course.jpg 600w, https:\/\/19th-hole.yourgolftravel.com\/19th-hole\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Coppoerhead-Course-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/19th-hole.yourgolftravel.com\/19th-hole\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Coppoerhead-Course-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/19th-hole.yourgolftravel.com\/19th-hole\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Coppoerhead-Course-70x70.jpg 70w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 600px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 600\/600;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h5>Tournament History<\/h5>\n<p>Now named the Valspar Championship, this event began in 2000 and since then has chopped and changed its sponsors and dates on more than one occasion. Originally scheduled as an alternate tournament to the President\u2019s Cup and the WGC Championship, the event eventually got its own slot on the tour in 2003 following a cancellation in 2001 due to the September attacks. From 2003 to 2006, the then called Chrysler Championship was the last official event before the Tour Championship. In 2007, the tournament was moved to March and without a title sponsor, it was almost brought to a close. However, PODS Water came in and sponsored it for 2 years before withdrawing, the Transitions sponsored it for a year, followed by Everbank before finally signing its current deal with Valspar in 2013. The one thing that hasn\u2019t changed about this tournament is the course it is played on and since it began The Copperhead Course at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.yourgolftravel.com\/innisbrook-resort\">Innisbrook Resort<\/a> has been the host. Each year the world\u2019s best continue to turn out for this fantastic tournament with Masters champions Jordan Spieth and Charl Schwartzel winning 2015 and 2016 respectively. Another South African to have great success in this tournament is Retief Goosen who has won the tournament 2 times, a record he shares with South Korean K.J. Choi.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yourgolftravel.com\/innisbrook-resort\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-26264 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.yourgolftravel.com\/19th-hole\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Host-of-the-Valspar-Championship-since-2000.jpg\" alt=\"Valspar Championship\" width=\"600\" height=\"200\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/19th-hole.yourgolftravel.com\/19th-hole\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Host-of-the-Valspar-Championship-since-2000.jpg 600w, https:\/\/19th-hole.yourgolftravel.com\/19th-hole\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Host-of-the-Valspar-Championship-since-2000-300x100.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 600px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 600\/200;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FQhPz2DsJ5w\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h5>Who the &#8220;YGT PUNDITS&#8221; think will come out on top at Innisbrook<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Nicholas Goldie &#8211; Gary Woodland<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Currently ranked in the Top 10 on the FedEx Cup standings and in the Top 20 on Tour for Driving Distance &amp; Shots Gained from Tee-Green this year, I can see Gary Woodland being a real force this week. He&#8217;s had 4 Top 10&#8217;s already this season including a T2nd at the Honda Classic two weeks ago so he&#8217;s coming into the Valspar off the back of some quality golf. The amount of trees at Innisbrook does worry me with Woodland&#8217;s 59% driving accuracy but Woodland&#8217;s approach game this season is up there with the best so a more accurate driving game this week and I&#8217;m sure we&#8217;ll be seeing him at the top of the leaderboard.<\/p>\n<p><iframe data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eu2HEeNvjN0\" width=\"600\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Oliver Gunning &#8211; Henrik The Ice Man Stenson<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The Ice Man has shown some great form already this year with a tie for 8th in Abu Dhabi and runners-up in Dubai.

Admittedly JT missed a pair of cuts recently but he hardly played terribly on those weeks with a scoring average of 71 hardly a cause for concern! A final round 72 put paid to his chances in Mexico last week but with the really big guns &#8211; DJ, Rory, Jason Day and Jordan &#8211; all missing from the field this week, Justin will surely fancy his chances at Innisbrook where he finished in the Top 20 last year and inside the Top 10 on his event debut in 2015.<\/p>\n<p><iframe data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wJJgAZbCGQE\" width=\"600\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Nicholas Martin &#8211; Matt Kuchar<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Going into the Valspar Championship, midway through the Florida swing, Henrik The Iceman Stenson seems the clear favourite, having already had a fantastic start to the 2016\/2017 season, but I have decided to go for someone who has had a steady start to the season but is always in the picture when big tournaments and majors come about, the one and only Matt Kuchar. Matt is known for is big smile and positive attitude, so it&#8217;s got to be sooner rather than later that all the hard work pays off and you see his name at the top of the leaderboard in major come Sunday afternoon. He has a solid record at Innisbrook with four top 15&#8217;s since 2009 and he also finished T-20th at the recent WGC Mexico Championship. Let&#8217;s hope Matt can keep up the good form and pull off his first win of the season.<\/p>\n<p><iframe data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7pih4zBwYk8\" width=\"600\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Paul Gartland &#8211; Justin Thomas<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Coming off a top 5 last week, Justin Thomas has climbed up to 7th in the world rankings and seems to be in the mix every week. 3 wins and 3 other top 10&#8217;s in 9 starts this season, with that kind of form it is hard to ignore him.
