Tournament director Tracy West and her staff endeavor to make the Valspar Championship the place to be in Tampa Bay in the middle of March.
There is no reason to think this year's PGA event (March 16-19) in Palm Harbor will not be the region's primary attraction. After all, the tournament and the sponsor have combined to put on quite a show before, including last year when about 125,000 patrons made their way to the Innisbrook Resort to see to Sam Burns win his second straight Valspar.
