2021 PGA Tour Valspar Championship Odds and Picks

• The Valspar Championship from Palm Harbor, FL tees off Thursday, April 29th
• Justin Thomas is the +800 favorite over Dustin Johnson
• We’ve narrowed down the golfers with the best chance of emerging victorious and provided the best value bets below

One week after we nailed the winning tandem of Marc Leishman and Cameron Smith at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, the PGA Tour heads to Florida for the demanding Valspar Championship. The Copperhead Course at Innisbrook Resort and Golf Club is a tricky test, where ball striking will be at an all time premium.

Six of the last seven champions have been no better than ten-under-par for the week. The final three holes are known as ‘the snake pit’ proving a demanding challenge for the world’s best.

This track is always one of the more difficult ones on the PGA Tour, with it ranking as the third toughest in 2019. Close calls are the norm for this championship, with eleven of the last 13 champions winning by just a single shot or in a playoff, with the two exceptions being two shot victories.

Justin Thomas heads the list of competitors, and he’s one of four players in the top 10 world rankings competing, joined by Dustin Johnson, Patrick Reed and Tyrrell Hatton. Paul Casey returns as the two-time defending champion, having won by one stroke in each of the last two iterations.

2021 Valspar Championship Odds

Odds as of April 26th

Corey Conners Has Been on a Tear

Not many golfers can boast Corey Conners’ tremendous record in his last five stroke play events. His results in that time frame are as follows: 3rd, 7th, T-14th, T-8th and T-4th. Unsurprisingly, over the course of the last 36 rounds on the PGA Tour, the Canadian has been dynamite in key strokes gained categories.

Corey Conners’ Strokes Gained Stats In Last 36 Rounds

Putting, which has long been Conners’ downfall, has significantly improved of late, as he’s gained strokes on the greens in his last five events. He’s sixth in greens in regulation and ninth in strokes gained tee-to-green on the campaign.

In his lone appearance at the Valspar, Conners held the 54-hole lead in 2018, before a tough Sunday dropped him to a tie for 16th. That was the first time in the hunt on tour, and he’s progressed exponentially since then. With +2600 odds, you’re getting the 2019 Valero Texas Open champion at better value than six other golfers.
