It’s Wednesday, and time for our quick rundown of the week’s professional golf tour events – PGA, Champions, European, LPGA, Web.com.
The PGA Tour Champions and Web.com tours are off until late March while the LPGA Tour is on a one-week break, so the schedule is very limited this week with only two tours playing. The PGA Tour is heading back to Florida for the Valspar Championship; and the European Tour is in India for the Hero Indian Open.
Here’s a preview of the two golf tournaments this week.
