Valspar Championship 2025 LIVE: Dates, field, tee times, schedule and how to follow as Jacob Bridgeman leads way
The build-up to The Masters continues as the PGA Tour concludes its spell in Florida with the Valspar Championship this weekend.
Rory McIlroy won The Players Championship on Monday, but he won’t be a part of this field as preparations begin for the big one.

It leaves his good friend Shane Lowry and Englishman Tommy Fleetwood to go for glory as they look to take the crown from last year’s unlikely winner Peter Malnati.
And Lowry has made a great start, putting himself well in contention for the title heading into the weekend, however, Jacob Bridgeman has a one-shot lead into round three.
With The Masters coming up next month, there’s no doubt that a win and a cut of the $8.7million prize pot would provide a huge boost.

Valspar Championship: What has been said?
Reigning champion Malnati was left in tears after winning his first title since 2015.
Speaking after his long-awaited success, he said: "I told myself I was going to do my best on every shot and that's what I did.
"I was so nervous coming down the stretch and the approach into 16 was terrible... I just can't describe it. It's so cool. It's just amazing.
"You wonder if you're ever going to do it again because it's hard and in the nine years since my last win it's gotten a lot harder too.
