The 2021 WGC-Workday Championship was a golf tournament that was played February 25–28 at The Concession Golf Club in Bradenton, Florida. It was the 22nd and final time the WGC Championship has been played and the first of the World Golf Championships events to be staged in 2021. The event was originally scheduled to take place in Mexico, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the event was moved to Florida in January 2021.[1] On February 16, it was announced Workday, Inc. would become the new title sponsor.[2]

Collin Morikawa won the event by three strokes over Billy Horschel, Viktor Hovland, and Brooks Koepka.[3]
