The Copperhead Course ranks ninth on the Golfweek’s Best 2025: Top public-access golf courses in Florida list.
After the Valspar, the PGA Tour takes a Texas two-step to the Texas Children’s Houston Open and the Valero Texas Open before heading to Augusta National Golf Club for the first major of the season.
There are now just three more chances for those not already invited to earn a tee time in the Masters by virtue of winning a PGA Tour event.
