The PGA Tour’s Florida swing concludes with one more diabolical test at the Copperhead Course at Innisbrook Golf Resort. Like most Florida stops, this course has trouble lurking everywhere. That’s made the Valspar Championship one of most volatile tournaments to bet, as big names routinely fail to make the weekend.
Word on the grounds this week is that the rough is approaching four inches long, and that plus an abundance of water is going to place an even bigger emphasis on ball striking. As a result, we need to target elite approach and off the tee players in our make the cut parlay, and fade the guys who are spraying it all over the place in the miss the cut market.

Harman Boasts Horrible History at Copperhead
Harman has missed the weekend at the Valspar in four of his last five appearances. He’s failed to break 70 in 12 of his last 16 rounds at Copperhead, and enters the week in sub-optimal form.
Brian Harman Last 5 Starts at the Valspar Championship
| Year | Result | SG Total |
|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 5th | 11 |
| 2019 | MC | -1.8 |
| 2017 | MC | -4.0 |
| 2016 | MC | -0.2 |
| 2015 | MC | -1.8 |
Harman has missed the cut in two of his past three tournaments, with a 44th place mixed in as well. He’s lost strokes with his irons in seven straight events, and is a negative around the green in four consecutive tournaments.
If you’re not flushing your irons at the Valspar you will be penalized, and that’s amplified if you’re also struggling to scramble.
Pick: Brian Harman to Miss the Cut (+200)
Make the Cut Parlay
Harman is a cross off for us this week, but there’s still plenty of players who are striking it well to target in our make the cut parlay. Gary Woodland is near the top of that list, after yet another impressive ball striking performance last week. The 2011 Valspar champ gained 7.4 strokes ball striking at the Players Championship, and leads the field in strokes gained approach over the past 12 rounds.
Justin Rose is our next leg, fresh off a 6th place finish at the Players Championship. Rose gained 7 strokes ball striking, and leads the field in scoring over the past 12 rounds.

Our third and fourth legs are Justin Suh and Adam Hadwin, who each boast some of the strongest form heading into this week. Suh ranks top-11 over the past 12 rounds in scoring, iron play, scrambling and putting. Hadwin meanwhile, is a former champion of this event, and ranks top-seven in both strokes gained tee to green and ball striking over the last 12 rounds.
Last, but not least, we’ll target Brandon Wu as our anchor leg. Wu has back-to-back top-20’s in Florida at the Honda and Players, and was second last month at Pebble Beach. Add it all up, and we’re looking at a +286 payday if all five of our golfers survive the cutline.
