On Sunday at the Copperhead Course at Innisbrook Resort, the Valspar Championship stage is set for a dramatic finish.
Sungjae Im (-11) leads the field by two shots heading into the final round. The 27-year-old from South Korea’s recent form has been interrupted by military training and a wrist injury, and a win in Florida would mark his first since 2021 — nearly four-and-a-half years ago.
Just behind Im, two PGA Tour veterans occupy second place: Brandt Snedeker, the 45-year-old U.S. Presidents Cup captain, has nine wins on his resume, but the most recent was eight years ago, in 2018.

And 37-year-old David Lipsky, who has three international wins to his credit, has teed it up on the PGA Tour in 144 tournaments without a victory — so far.
A bit farther down the leaderboard, three shots behind Im, you have Marco Penge and Matt Fitzpatrick. Penge, too, is seeking his maiden PGA Tour victory, while Fitzpatrick, a U.S. Open champion, is looking for his third PGA Tour win.
In addition to the prestige of a PGA Tour title, these players are also battling for a hefty prize fund.
The Valspar Championship’s $9.1 million total purse awards $1.638 million to the champion and $991,900 to the runner-up, with the top 22 players earning a six-figure payout.
