PALM HARBOR, Fla. – Forget strength of field, purse size, location or even a World Golf Championship pedigree. If players picked which tournaments to play based entirely on the quality of a golf course, the fields during the PGA Tour’s Florida swing would look vastly different.
It may not be “Super Tuesday,” but the results from an unscientific poll of players on Tuesday at the Valspar Championship regarding the best track on the Florida swing may prove a surprise.
Asked to rank the five PGA Tour's five Florida stops based on the courses themselves, this week’s stop just outside Tampa edged TPC Sawgrass, home of The Players in May, for the top spot.
