Returning this year, 2017 Valspar Champion Adam Hadwin to defend his title. In early February, I had the opportunity to listen to his personal account from last year’s Valspar Championship. Believe it or not, despite hours of practice nothing can prepare a professional player for what unfolds during the championship. As a mother runner racer just trying to find my happy pace through hours of training, I appreciated Adam’s candid tale; even professionals can never predict their performance.

Rumor also has it that Rory McIlroy will also be returning as part of the Valspar superstar PGA professionals. From professional golfers, baseball players and football players, the Valspar Championship promises to be a star-studded event for every sports fan.

With Valspar as the title sponsor, endless color is a key driver in all of the Vaslpar initiatives. Some of the color driven fun this year includes the Valspar Block Party Tiny Homes BIG Inspiration. Being a HUGE Tiny Home fan, I can’t wait to be inspired and fulfill my Tiny Home dream in the Valspar neighborhood behind the 18th green!

    What I’m most excited about for this event is the people watching, and the exciting activities to do between watching golf swings. Last year my hubby and I LOVED the McDonald’s area with the fun giveaways and we adored the food trucks. Such a great day out in Tampa Bay!

    Now that I have been taking golf lessons for the past year, I have such a greater appreciation for the game and championships like this one. I’ve been to the Valspar event before, but missed last year. Hoping to go this year!
