More about the Valspar Championship:
The Valspar Championship, formerly known as the Tampa Bay Championship, has a storied history. The tournament was established in 2000 and initially served as an alternate event during the autumn and late summer seasons. It replaced the long-standing JCPenney Classic, which had been held at Innisbrook since 1990. Over the years, the tournament has transitioned in terms of timing and sponsorship.
In 2007, the tournament got a new title sponsor Transitions Optical, Inc., which later resulted in it being called the Transitions Championship. EverBank took over as presenting sponsor in 2013 before Valspar Corporation signed a four-year deal in September 2013 and turned it into the presently known Valspar Championship. Its last contract extension set their sponsorship through to 2025.
The former tournament champions are Jim Furyk, Sean O’Hair, and Vijay Singh.
