The 2026 Valspar Championship kicks off Thursday, March 19, with the opening round at Innisbrook\u2019s Copperhead Course<\/a> in Palm Harbor, Fla. You can find full Valspar Championship tee times for Thursday\u2019s first round at the bottom of this post.<\/p>\n

Featured tee time for Round 1<\/p>\n

Just a few years ago, Matt Fitzpatrick<\/a> looked like he had the potential to be the next dominant pro on the PGA Tour<\/a>. His emphatic win at the 2022 U.S. Open at the Country Club proved that.<\/p>\n

Fitzpatrick struggled for years following that win. But it appears he\u2019s turned the page.<\/p>\n

His first sign of life was a victory at last fall\u2019s DP World Tour Championship. Then came the 2026 PGA Tour season. Fitzpatrick has yet to miss a cut, and he has two top-10s in six starts.<\/p>\n

His best Tour performance in years came just last week at the 2026 Players Championship. Though he made bogey on the final hole to lose by one shot to Cameron Young<\/a>, the impressive performance should give Fitzpatrick plenty of momentum as he chases his third PGA Tour title<\/a> at the Valspar Championship.<\/p>\n

Fitzpatrick will tee off for the opening round on Thursday at 1:03 p.m. ET alongside Sam Ryder and Justin Thomas<\/a>.<\/p>\n
