Once again, Benchmark International had the pleasure of hosting the Snake Pit at the Valspar Championship in 2018. The Valspar Championship is a professional golf tournament that is part of the PGA tour. It is based out of Palm Harbor, FL at the Innisbrook Resort and Golf Club.
This year brought the largest non-masters television audience since 2015. There were more than 30,000 attendees to this year’s event as well. No doubt, Tiger Woods’ participation played a role in the traffic that passed through for this four-day event. His long-anticipated return certainly upped the ante at this year’s event.
The “Snake Pit” is the name given to the final three holes at Innisbrook’s Copperhead course. Hole 16 has been dubbed one the most challenging holes on the PGA Tour. Benchmark International hosted the main event tent, which was located in this area near the green off of hole 17.
The Valspar Championship is an event fostered in its image of giving back through various charities. Copperhead Charities heads the event, and has raised a total of nearly $39 million for local charities over the last 40 years. In 2017, more than $2.4 million were raised thanks to the Valspar Championship event.
Benchmark International’s Managing Director, Dara Shareef, stated “It was a pleasure to experience what was, by any objective measure, the most ambitious and successful Valspar Championship on record. The crowds, the atmosphere, and the vibe were electric. To play a part in pulling off such an ambitious undertaking is gratifying, and I look forward to next year.”
