The tournament has been sponsored by Valspar Corporation, a paint and coatings company, since 2014.
The Valspar Championship is a four-round stroke play event, with a field of 144 players. The purse for the 2022 tournament is $6.9 million, with the winner receiving a prize of $1.242 million and 500 FedEx Cup points.
Notable past winners of the Valspar Championship include Jim Furyk, Vijay Singh, K.J. Choi, Luke Donald, and Paul Casey.
