Taylor Moore spoke to the media at the Valspar Championship, the event he won in 2023 for his 1st PGA Tour victory.
Yeah it’s awesome to be back um you know I came back for the first time about a month ago for media day so it was nice to be back on uh be back on property and you know reliving all those feels and um yeah definitely excited for this week um
To get back out there and and play again obviously at the place got my first win at so uh yeah stoked to get back out there yeah I think it you know I talked about it that week it just gave me some confidence knowing that you know I I
Knew I could compete out here and and be in contention on Sundays but until you actually hoist that Trophy and and get it done um you know I guess you never really know so it gave me that that uh affirmation that I could I could do it
Out here on Sundays you know on the back nine when I when I am in contention yeah I went to to Augusta Friday and Saturday before Bay Hill and when when scoped it out with a local caddy and um yeah it was you know first time I was able to do
That and plan ahead which was a lot of fun so I I tried to take advantage of it and we had a good couple days there and and caught some good weather on Saturday and um you know it’s obviously different than tournament week when everybody’s
Out there so it’s kind of cool to to feel like we had to place to ourselves a little bit and put in some time yeah for sure uh one thing I’m going to avoid that tournament shop that thing is madness that everybody’s trying to get the gnome and hoodies and all kinds of
That thing is crazy but um you know I think my goal is just to treat you know majors and elevated events like a like a normal work week so I want to go into Monday of that week go go through my normal routine go through my my proper
Prep and then you know get myself ready to to be in the best position to have a chance to compete on the weekend it would be awesome I think you know having first time to defend too like when I did win on Canadian tour I didn’t get opportunity when I went on
Corn faery my last year out there didn’t get the opportunity to defend so obviously having that that opportunity is amazing and something that I’m going to embrace and um you know getting my first tour win here was awesome and getting my second here would be even better so I’m definitely looking forward
To that challenge and and that opportunity to to get it done again this week
