The PGA Florida Swing concludes this week with the 2026 Valspar Championship at Innisbrook Resort and Golf Club – Copperhead Course – beginning on Thursday. Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlory are among the golfers taking the week off, but it’s still a strong field with big names like Xander Schauffele, Viktor Hovland, Matt Fitzpatrick and Brooks Koepka all teeing it up. The latest 2026 Valspar Championship odds from FanDuel Sportsbook list Schauffele as the favorite at +1100, followed by Hovland (+1600) and Fitzpatrick (+1900). Koepka, meanwhile, is +2500.
Other past major winners in the field include Justin Thomas (+2200), Jordan Spieth (+2500) and Wyndham Clark (+4500).

2026 Valspar Championship predictions
One major surprise the model is calling for at the Valspar Championship 2026: Patrick Cantlay, an eight-time PGA winner, barely cracks the top 10 despite being tied for the fourth-lowest odds. He’s a golfer to fade this week. Even against the slightly diluted field, Cantlay hasn’t shown enough this season to be among the favorites. He’s yet to record a top-10 finish in 2026 and he’s missed two cuts in six events. The model has found far better values on the PGA odds board. See who else to fade here.
Another surprise: The model says Jacob Bridgeman is a top-five contender despite going off at +2500. The 26-year-old American is having a breakout year thus far. He hasn’t finished worse than T18 in his six events. He’s also coming off a T5 at The Players Championship, his third top-five finish of the season. See who else to pick here.
