29 April - 2 May 2021
Jason Kokrak will be looking to redeem himself when he takes part in this week's
Valspar Championship in Tampa, Florida, USA.
The American golfer is heading into this year's competition as the 35th-ranked player in the Official World Golf Ranking.
Kokrak came close to winning this tournament for the first time in 2019 when he finished second behind Paul Casey of England.

The towering golfer, who made his first appearance as a member of the PGA Tour in January 2012, finished tied for second, one stroke behind champion Casey.
It was Kokrak's T-2 finish and his third career runner-up on Tour, and his first since the 2016 Northern Trust Open.
Kokrak, who will turn 36 in May 2021, won the 2020 CJ Cup at Shadow Creek for his first PGA Tour victory after nine years and 233 starts.
The Canada-based golfer will now be looking to win his first trophy in 2021 when he competes at the Innisbrook Resort and Golf Club.

Kokrak says he is looking forward to seeing how current world number one Dustin Johnson will perform at the Valspar Championship.
“It’s going to be a great field this year," Kokrak said.
"Dustin Johnson has been playing some unbelievable golf. He is No1 in the world for a reason. I will be interested to see how he plays around this golf course.
"It is a tough venue and a tree-lined course that can get right under your skin real quick."
