Doc Redman Looks To Continue Good Play This Week
It wasn't too long ago that Doc Redman was being talked about as one of golf's rising young golfers, but after a really poor stretch of golf last year, there were a lot of question marks. Redman has started to show some promise again in 2022, having made four of his last five cuts while... Read More
Webb Simpson Continues His Return From Injury
Webb Simpson returned from a two-month absence from a back injury last week at the Players Championship. Although Webb missed the cut, we think it is pretty telling that he is playing in back-to-back weeks this week at the Valspar Championship. If Webb was still not 100%, it would be a great week to skip,... Read More
Sam Burns Looking To Defend Title At Valspar
Sam Burns is heading to the Valspar Championship in hopes of defending his title. After struggling early in 2022, the two-time PGA tour winner has gotten back on track the last two weeks. Burns finished T9 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and T26 at The Players Championship last week. The former LSU Tiger has been... Read More
Jason Kokrak A Popular Play At Valspar
Expect Jason Kokrak to be a popular DFS play this week at the Valspar Championship. The three-time PGA tour winner enters with great course history at Innisbrook. The 36-year-old has had three straight top 13 finishes at this event, including a runner up in 2019. Kokrak has gained strokes on approach in four straight events... Read More
Jhonattan Vegas Relying On Ball-Striking
Jhonattan Vegas missed his first cut in five starts at the tumultuous Players Championship last week. At a course like Innisbrook, Vegas may find his distance advantage off the tee slightly nullified by forced layups. With a larger emphasis on the rest of his game, he is able to lean on his approach play to... Read More
Viktor Hovland In Terrific Form Heading To Innisbrook
Viktor Hovland is in great form leading up to the Valspar Championship this week. The Norwegian star has finished inside the top-10 in his last three starts and can become world number one with a win this week at Innisbrook. Hovland has been on fire with his irons gaining over nine strokes against the field... Read More
Sahith Theegala Still High-Risk, High-Reward
After a poor week at The Players Championship, Sahith Theegala suffered back-to-back missed cuts for the first time this season. However, with drastic scoring differences depending on tee times, The Players should be a tournament that carries very little relevance if a golfer plays poorly. Sahith's volatility across all statistical categories makes him a high-risk,... Read More
Mito Pereira Looking To Bring Entire Game To Valspar
Mito Pereira has all the skills to win on the PGA Tour, but he has been struggling to bring all his skills to the same event. When Pereira has gained strokes on approach and putting in the same event, he has finished T29 or better. Pereira has recently traded out an incredible stretch of putting... Read More
Andrew Putnam Looks To Regroup On Approach
Andrew Putnam's game seems to be heading in a positive direction. He has gained more than 0.92 strokes per round on approach in four of his last eight starts. Over the last 50 rounds, Putnam ranks ninth in putting on Bermuda surfaces. Coming off missed cuts at a soggy Players Championship and a tough Arnold... Read More
Bubba Watson An Innisbrook Enigma
Bubba Watson has finished T13 and T4 in his last two Valspar Championships. Watson's course history is often a better predictor of success than his recent form. He is one of the most eccentric golfers on tour, shaping shots in ways that most golfers cannot replicate. Watson seems to feel comfortable around Innisbrook, gaining significantly... Read More
Kevin Kisner A Great Course Fit
Kevin Kisner's fourth-place finish at The Players Championship was courtesy of his field-best, around-the-green game. He also put forward a top-10 putting performance that masked another below-average approach week. Positive ball-striking weeks are more of a bonus than an expectation for the short hitter. Kisner's strengths lie on and around the green, which will be... Read More
Jason Day To Lean On Short Game
Jason Day has the short game to be competitive at Innisbrook. After a missed cut at The Players in very testing and lopsided conditions, that result should not be taken too seriously. Compared to TPC Sawgrass with less water around Innisbrook, it should not punish errant approach shots as severely. Day's weakness is his iron... Read More
Christiaan Bezuidenhout Flying Under The Radar
Christiaan Bezuidenhout took the week off last week. Lucky for him, he did not have to withstand the grueling weather that took place at The Players Championship. Bezuidenhout is currently flying under the radar. He has not played this event before but should fit nicely. He is good around the greens and an excellent Bermuda... Read More
Aaron Wise In A Rough Patch Heading Into Valspar
Aaron Wise has been struggling since his incredible start to the season when he racked up five straight top-26 finishes on the PGA Tour. Since those first five starts, Wise has only made three of six cuts, with only one finish inside the top-50. In his only career start at the Copperhead Course, Wise finished... Read More
Russell Knox A Solid Sleeper At Valspar
Russell Knox is quietly playing some very solid golf this season on the PGA Tour. Knox has made seven of his last eight cuts, dating back to November. However, Knox has had no better finish than he did last week, with a T6 at the Players Championship. Coming off that finish, Knox will head to... Read More
Harold Varner III Looks To Keep Rolling At Valspar
Off his best finish of the PGA Tour season so far, Harold Varner III will look to start a streak at the Valspar Championship this week. Varner had just about everything working last week at TPC Sawgrass, where he racked up a T6 finish. Varner hit over 75% of greens, 65% of fairways, and gained... Read More
Abraham Ancer Needs A Good Finish At Valspar
It was another finish outside the top 30 for Abraham Ancer last week at the Players Championship, making for six straight finishes of that kind for Ancer. His last PGA Tour finish inside the top 30 came back in early November at Mayakoba. However, something has to give this week. In two career starts at... Read More
Adam Hadwin Looking For Second Win At Valspar
Adam Hadwin picked up his first, and only, career win at the 2017 Valspar Championship. Now, after a T9 finish at the Players Championship, Hadwin looks for another impressive finish at the Copperhead Course. Besides his win in 2017, Hadwin only has one other top-15 finish at the event in six starts, so Hadwin would... Read More
Dustin Johnson Looks To Build On Historic Round
Dustin Johnson heads to the Valspar this week off of a historic fourth round at TPC Sawgrass. The former world number one shot a final-round 63, tying the lowest 18-hole score in tournament history. Johnson gained over two strokes on approach and off the tee last week, as well as over five strokes putting. With... Read More
Keegan Bradley Riding Momentum Into Valspar
Keegan Bradley followed up an 11th-place finish at The Arnold Palmer Invitational with an impressive top-five result at a five-day long Players Championship. After consecutive 68s, Bradley nearly pulled off an improbable comeback. Just for him to finish minus-nine showed how he gained more than a stroke above average at TPC Sawgrass. His putting was... Read More
Cameron Tringale Looking For Hope At Valspar
At this point, Cameron Tringale is hoping for anything to hold on to. Tringale has been missing shots, putts, and more. Since the tied for third at the Farmers Insurance Open, Tringale has missed cuts in three of the last four tournaments. Valspar may be a little easier to make shots and birdies but consider... Read More
Mackenzie Hughes May Struggle Again At Valspar
Mackenzie Hughes put himself in solid position to make the final two rounds at The Players Championship. Then disaster struck. Hughes started the back nine first for Round 2 and shot +4 over through the first nine holes. That included a double bogey on 17 and bogey on 18. That caused the Canadian to miss... Read More
Kevin Streelman A Wild Card Heading To Valspar
Kevin Streelman had one good round at The Players Championship. He rode that "moving day" round to a tied for 22nd result. Other than that, the American golfer basically just shot around even par. There was little outstanding or great. Again, the problem was too many errant shots. Streelman started with a double bogey and... Read More
Francesco Molinari Expects To See Weekend At Valspar
Francesco Molinari managed to make the cut at The Players Championship. He never honestly was in contention, however. The Italian golfer shot just well enough but his 74 on Monday kept him staying in the top-30. Since finishing in a tie for sixth at The American Express, Molinari has struggled stringing holes err birdies together.... Read More
Collin Morikawa Should Bounce Back At Valspar
It was not Round 1 that kept Collin Morikawa from making the cut at TPC-Sawgrass, it was Round 2. The problem was Morikawa started poorly on Friday much like Thursday but bogeyed holes 1 and 3. He also could never get in position to birdie holes. When the American golfer did, his putter went uncharacteristically... Read More
Shane Lowry A Strong Option At The Valspar
Shane Lowry arrives at Innisbrook in excellent form. Last week at The Players, Lowry finished in 13th place and gained 3.9 strokes on approach. Lowry had one of the highlights of the tournaments when he made an ace on the 17th hole in round three. The Open Championship winner should fit nicely at The Valspar... Read More
Gary Woodland Looks To Continue His Strong 2022 Form
Gary Woodland missed the cut at The Players Championship. Due to the weather, it may be best not to hold that missed cut with high regard. Before arriving at TPC Sawgrass, Woodland recorded two straight top-five place finishes. The U.S. Open winner now sets his sights at The Valspar Championship. Woodland has mixed results at... Read More
Justin Thomas A Top Option At The Valspar
Justin Thomas had one of the most impressive 33rd-place finishes you will see at The Players Championship last week. On the wrong side of the draw, Thomas shot a bogey-free 69 in high winds in Round 2. The eight-ranked golfer in the world gained five strokes from tee-to-green at TPC Sawgrass. Thomas is an ideal...

Xander Schauffele Looks To Bounce Back In Florida
This will be Xander Schauffele's (OWGR No. 9) first time teeing it up at the Valspar Championship. The 28-year-old was on the wrong side of the draw at The Players Championship last week and missed the cut. Before that he had been playing some of the most consistent golf in the world, not missing a... Read More
Tommy Fleetwood Hoping To Stay Hot In Florida
Tommy Fleetwood (OWGR No. 47) was tied for the lead at The Players Championship after the first round but then faded over the next three rounds to finish a respectable T22. That performance follows a T20 finish at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, which was played under very tough weather conditions as well. The 31-year-old has... Read More
