The 2026 Valspar Championship continues on Saturday, March 21, with the third round at Innisbrook's Copperhead Course in Palm Harbor, Fla. You can find full Valspar Championship tee times for Saturday's third round at the bottom of this post.

Featured tee time for Round 3

Featured tee time? There are a few contenders for the honor. 

There's your last group, of course. At 1:55 p.m. ET leader Sungjae Im and David Lipsky go off. And they follow Doug Ghim and Chandler Blanchet, who start at 1:45. 

But the nod here might have to go to the 1:15 grouping. There'll you find Brandt Snedeker, who's five back of the lead, and Gary Woodland, who's four off the pace. They're a couple of vets. They're a couple of good stories. 

We'll start with Sneds. He's this year's U.S. Presidents Cup team captain and a nine-time PGA Tour winner - but is titleless since 2018. Injuries have slowed him. But he's back. A strong showing this week would be encouraging.   

"It's nice to show my son and kids I can still do this every once in a while," the 45-year-old said. "But that being said, good golf after two rounds is a whole different thing than good golf after four. So we got two more rounds to go prove it, so I'm looking forward to the challenge."

Then there's Woodland. He's another one of pro golf's good guys, and he's the 2019 U.S. Open winner. But a lesion on his brain required surgery, and last week, he revealed he was battling PTSD because of what he's endured. 

His golf form this week, though, has him thrilled.

"It's been coming," Woodland said. "I've been hitting it nice on the range, our practice sessions have been really good. I just haven't translated it to the golf course." 

You can watch Saturday's third round of the 2026 Valspar Championship from 1-3 p.m. ET on Golf Channel, then from 3-6 p.m. ET on NBC. PGA Tour Live on ESPN+ will provide exclusive early streaming coverage starting at 7:30 a.m. ET Saturday, in addition to featured group and featured hole coverage.

Only one person, Matt Wallace says, saw him accidentally move his golf ball. 

Or so he thought. 

The golf gods, remember, see all. 

The divine sequence played out Friday during the Valspar Championship’s second round, where Wallace shoved his tee ball right and into the pine straw on the Copperhead Course’s par-5 11th hole. Delicacy was needed. Wallace said his caddie, Jamie Lane, warned him, too. But a wayward twig forced Wallace to hover his club at address, he said, and as he waggled it, his ball relocated.  

Uh-oh. 

Wallace called for an official. He also said he’d never made his ball before in such a way. 

“Didn’t know whether it was in the action of my swing or anything,” he said afterward, “but I definitely touched it, and then the ball moved from that.”

Still, Wallace said no one else saw the violation. At the time, he was also two-over for the tournament and fighting to make the cut. You know the options in front of him. An ethical dilemma played out, at least in a golf sense. 

But so be it, Wallace said. And he took his one-stroke penalty. 

“You’d hope that everyone’s like that,” Wallace said. 

“Yeah. You kind of — you’re not just doing it for yourself though, even though it’s such an individual sport. You’re doing it to protect the rest of the field. You’re doing it for your caddie, your team, your family. I would rather miss the cut doing something like that by one shot, and then giving it my all for the rest, than making it and knowing something’s happened. So I called it on myself.

“And then I made a few birdies.”

Yeah, so about that golf gods thing.

After the penalty, Wallace hit his third shot to the left of the green, chipped on and made a par. “Obviously very much needed at the time,” Wallace said. Then he birdied 14, a par-4, on a 22-foot putt. Then he birdied 15, a par-3, after hitting his tee shot to 6 feet. Then he birdied 17, also a par-3, after rolling in a 27-footer. 

And a par on 18, a par-4, gave him a round of three-under 68 and a two-round total of one-under, which was good enough for the weekend. 

“Yeah,” Wallace said, “maybe a bit of good karma coming my way.”

You never know who’s watching, after all.
