While the LIV Golf League will take a three-week break from its opening 54-hole event in Mexico, the PGA Tour will be hitting its pre-Masters stride over the next month.
There will be three designated tournaments in the next four weeks. Up first is the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill in Orlando, Florida, the fourth elevated event of the season with a $20 million purse. Next week, the Players Championship will have a $25 million purse, the biggest on the PGA Tour. After the Valspar Championship, a non-elevated event, another $20 million will be on the line when perhaps the final WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play event takes place at Austin Country Club on March 22-25.
The LPGA will also play one of its biggest tournaments of the season this week at the HSBC Women’s World Championship in Singapore.
Here’s what to watch in professional golf this week:
