Valspar Championship expert picks and predictions: Best bets from our PGA Pro for 2025 golf tournament
The Tampa Bay Classic was a schedule nomad for some time. The Valspar has been contested in May, September, October and March. The week after the PLAYERS is not ideal, but the lead-up to Augusta is far better than the FedEx Fall Series. Three of the top 10 and 10 of the top 25 in the OWGR are here competing for $8.7 million, $1.566 million and the trophy for first. We have not seen a field of 156 players since the Farmers over a month ago. That means, many in Tampa may not have competed in some time.
