Our Valspar Championship betting tips are hopefully a winning solution for this weekend after there wasn’t much traction at The Players. We were close to finding a winner in back-to-back weeks, but our golfers couldn’t finish in the final round.
In an upset at The Players, Aussie Cameron Smith won a wild tournament with a -13 over another upset bid from Indian, Anirban Lahiri. Paul Casey finished third to round out the top-3. It was a wild tourney, with multiple stops and goes because of bad weather.
Smith came on strong in the final round to shoot a -6 to overtake Lahiri. Neither Smith nor Lahiri were on most radars. Smith is on the Valspar Championship betting odds board in Palm Harbor.
He had previously finished T33 in the Genesis Open, but did set a PGA scoring record at the Tournament of Champions to open the year. He has decent enough odds to win the Valspar Championship at +2500.
He was CUT from the Sony Open prior to his effort in the Genesis Open. Smith found the right form at the right time to win the biggest purse in golf of $3,6000,000 from the total pool of $20,000,000.
This is one of the smaller tournaments following the “fifth major”, but there are some notable names that signed up to play in Palm Harbor. The Valspar Championship betting odds board is currently up at all of our favorite golf betting sites.
Hovland finished T3, four strokes behind Sam Burns in the Valspar Championship last year. Burns edged ahead for a -17 win over Keegan Bradley’s -14.

Valspar Championship Betting Tips
Viktor Hovland (+1600)
I’m surprised to see that Viktor Hovland’s odds to win the Valspar Championship aren’t better this weekend. It’s better for us, as it provides betting value on Hovland.
However, I don’t see oddsmakers giving Hovland the most respect in this spot. He’s been one of the most consistent golfers over the past several weeks and is coming off a strong tournament here last year.
He was in good form last year in Palm Harbor, which was expected then as well. This is a course that plays to his strengths and there should be a chance for him again this week.
Note that Hovland has finished in the top-10 in five of his previous seven entries, including two wins. I have him as one of the favorites to win, but his odds to win the Valspar Championship are below Justin Thomas.
At +1600, the consistent hand of the 24-year-old Norweigan has to be considered.
LOUIS OOSTHUIZEN (+4000)
If you are really digging deep for a value bet in the Valspar Championship, there could be some longshots to consider. Playing longshots is one of the best aspects of betting on golf. You have to take some chances to have success on the golf course.
He’s been just off the pace from winning all four major tournaments in his career. Oosthuizen has also finished close at several other tourneys. He was playing well as of late before withdrawing from the RSM Classic in November.
The one thing to keep in mind with Oosthuizen is that he’s never finished worse than T16 in his last four appearances at Copperhead. He’s consistent and should be lurking. His odds to win the Valspar Championship look like good value.
Shane Lowry (+6600)
If +4000 isn’t generous enough Valspar Championship betting odds on Louis Oosthuizen, then Shane Lowry at +6600 might be a good option. Lowry is coming off a solid showing at TPC Sawgrass, including a hole-in-one.
The Irishman has been locked in and has been seeing the ball well. He’s finished T9, T12, T24, 2nd, and T13 in his previous five appearances. I can’t fault Lowry at this price. He likely has a better than his odds to win the Valspar Championship indicate.
