The last event on the Florida Swing is this week: The 2023 Valspar Championship at Innisbrook’s Copperhead Course in Palm Harbor, Fla. Sam Burns will go for his 3rd straight win at this event, but he’ll face some competition from the likes of Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth, among others.
Below, we search for the best value prop bets among the 2023 Valspar Championship odds and make our PGA Tour picks and predictions.
Thomas is the highest-ranked player in the field this week based on the latest Golfweek/Sagarin rankings, coming in at No. 8 – the only player in the top 10 who will be playing at Innisbrook. Adam Hadwin, Tommy Fleetwood, Maverick McNealy and Matt Fitzpatrick are also in the field, ranking from No. 21-25, respectively. The 2-time defending champion Burns is No. 28 in the rankings.
The Copperhead Course is 7,340 yards and plays as a par 71, testing players’ accuracy off the tee with hazards and bunkers spanning the course. It’s not a course that demands a lot of length off the tee, but there are holes where distance is an advantage.
