Valspar Championship
Greetings, Grinders! We are back with another Florida swing event this week, with the Valspar Championship on the calendar for us. We have a relatively weak field for this event, as it does not have the new “elevated status” compared to a few of the other Florida tournaments. This gives us a bit of a letdown factor for DFS, but there is still plenty of money out there and up for grabs! Everyone is playing with the same player pool!
As for the tournament itself, this event will be played at the Copperhead Course at Innisbrook. This is a very difficult par 71 layout, but it does not fit the traditional par 71 that would have three par fives and four par threes. This course actually has four par fives and five par threes, which is not something you often see. However, the par fives are no pushover, as they often average among the hardest sets of par fives that we see regularly on the PGA Tour. There are generally no “easy” holes around this place. As we see with most challenging courses, accuracy, ball striking, and approach play are of prime importance. Rostering players who are strong with their long irons is a primary objective, as there will be many approach shots hit from 150+ yards. Golfers who can scramble and avoid bogeys also get a nice bump, as the greens are small and par is a fine score here. Expect the scoring average to be around 1.50 to 1.75 over par on average in the absence of extreme weather.
