The trophy is seen on the first tee during the final round of the Valspar Championship 2025 at Innisbrook Resort and Golf Club on March 23.
The Valspar Championship is set up for a dramatic Sunday finish at Innisbrook Resort’s Copperhead Course, and there’s more than just a trophy on the line.
With a $9.1 million purse, players are battling not only for a PGA Tour title but also for a massive payday. The winner will take home $1.638 million, making the final round even more meaningful as the leaderboard tightens.
The financial stakes extend well beyond the top spot, too. With six-figure payouts for the top 22 finishers and meaningful earnings throughout the field, even small moves up the leaderboard can have a significant impact.

What’s Next on the PGA Tour?
The PGA Tour schedule doesn’t slow down after the Valspar Championship – in fact, it only ramps up. Players will next head to the Texas Children’s Houston Open (March 23-29), a key final tune-up before the year’s first major. From there, all eyes turn to Augusta National for the Masters (April 6-12), where the stakes reach another level and the best players in the world compete for one of golf’s most iconic titles. Reigning champion Rory McIlroy recently announced his menu that was inspired by his family. The Champions Dinner is one of the Masters’ most cherished traditions.
“This is going to be the first time I drive down Magnolia Lane and it’s all going to be about enjoying my week and enjoying the perks that come along with being a Masters champion,” McIlory said.
The momentum continues the following week at the RBC Heritage (April 13-19), which consistently draws a strong field, before the Tour shifts gears with the Zurich Classic of New Orleans at TPC Louisiana (April 20-26).
