LIV - Tucson

The second event of the LIV 2023 season heads to Tuscon, Arizona. Hosted at the Gallery Golf Club, this presents a chance for Phil Mickelson and a handful of other former Arizona State players (David Puig, Matt Jones, Pat Perez, Paul Casey) to return for a tournament and showcase a new LIV venue. The first event of the LIV season in Mayakoba finished with Charles Howell III running away with it and his team, the Crushers winning comfortably over the 4 Aces.

PGA Tour - Valspar Championship

As a non-designated event after the Players, the Valspar is still host to a fairly strong field headlined by Justin Thomas, Matt Fitzpatrick, Jordan Spieth, and Sam Burns. Burns is looking to make it a 3-peat at the Copperhead Course at Innisbrook after successfully defending last year with a playoff win over Davis Riley. Two amateurs are also in the field with Ludvig Aberg making his second start and Nick Gabrelcik from the University of North Florida.
