2 minutes We are tipping the outsider, Ghim for Valspar Championship victory.
The Florida Swing of the PGA Tour wraps up with the Valspar Championship in Palm Harbor, following Scottie Scheffler's impressive recovery from a neck injury to successfully defend his title at the Players Championship.
As the reigning world number one takes a break this week due to the injury he encountered during the second round at Sawgrass, the field at Innisbrook Resort breathes a sigh of relief. The lineup features notable competitors including Xander Schauffele, the 15/2 front-runner and recent second-place finisher at Sawgrass, two-time Valspar winner Sam Burns, 2015 champion Jordan Spieth, and Justin Thomas.
The Copperhead Course challenges players with its par 71 layout, encased by trees, narrow fairways, water hazards on numerous holes, several dog-legs, and a demanding final stretch from the 16th to the 18th hole, known as the ‘Snake Pit’. The question remains: who will emerge victorious come Sunday evening?
Taylor Moore is eyeing a consecutive victory at the Valspar Championship, following the footsteps of previous back-to-back champions Paul Casey and Sam Burns. With his consistent performance, making the cut in every tournament since last year's Open, Moore is well-positioned to clinch his second PGA Tour title. However, he may fall short in key areas such as strokes gained: tee to green and putting, which have been crucial for past champions.
Although Moore showed prowess in these metrics a year ago, his recent performance hasn't matched those levels, shifting our focus to Doug
Ghim, a Promising Candidate
Ghim's recent form, with top 20 finishes in his last five tournaments, positions him as a viable contender, especially given his ranking just outside the top 10 for strokes gained: tee-to-green, aligning with the profile of past Valspar champions.
