GolfWRX is live from the 2016 Valspar Championship at Innisbrook Resort (Copperhead) in Palm Harbor, Florida. The course will play as a 7,340-yard par-71 for the tournament.

 

At last year's event, Jordan Spieth beat out Patrick Reed and Sean O'Hair in a playoff to capture his second PGA Tour title. As defending champion and now the world No. 1-ranked golfer in the world, Spieth will be back in the field this year along with Reed (No. 10) and O'Hair.

 

Also in this year's field is Henrik Stenson (No. 7), Danny Willett (No. 11), Matt Kuchar (No. 28) and Justin Thomas (No. 31).

Still crazy to see S55's in my boy Brian Harman's bag.

 

I hope Brian Harman and Keegs can start getting back into form.

Can we please get a Freddie Jacobson WITB soon? It's been since 2014 since one has been posted... it would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for sharing such quality photos there Greg! Really digging Ken Duke's simple White/green covers and bag, or Green/white. Very clean, simple and elegant.

 

Also thanks to bvmagic for taking some sweet pics!

 

Would anyone know if this exact model Nike putter will be retail? I'm not looking for a similar model I want the exact same putter. Or is this just a Tour Only, "THE OVEN" only model? Thanks!

You will have to look super close between the retail model and the Oven prototype that Rory is playing to notice a difference. That is if you are referring to this picture only. There will be small differences but visually from address, shape they are pretty much identical.

Wow Stricker finally switched irons!

This will be my 3rd straight Valspar. This tournament gets better and better every year. I know they're so many big events on the Florida swing, I'd like to see more of the big names play. I'm talking the likes of a Phil, Blubber, Rickie, Scott. That would really take this one to the next level.

Looks like Reed ditched the Betti this week

Wow Stricker finally switched irons!

 

And it looks like different shafts too. Definitely doesn't look like the c-taper protos he played forever.

Did Dufner switch putters again?

Did he switch to the 716 AP2? I can't get a clear shot of them on the tv... I did see a clear shot of his Project X LZ iron shafts though!

And shafts too! He's playing the Project X LZ like Adam Scott.
