The 2026 Valspar Championship continues the PGA Tour season with the event at Innisbrook Resort's Copperhead Course in Palm Harbor, Florida, welcoming 135 world-class players to the PGA Tour event.

The 2026 Valspar Championship betting odds indicate this week's favorite is Xander Schauffele, who comes in at +1100 betting odds.

Viktor Hovland is 16-to-1 this week and next best on the odds table this week as he looks to defend the title he won last year.

Matt Fitzpatrick is next on the board at 18-to-1 heading into the week, and the rest of the board follows for the Tampa-area tournament.

2026 Valspar Championship betting picks

The Valspar Championship is the 11th event of the season, as the PGA Tour goes to its headquarters for their crown jewel event.

The Copperhead Course at Innisbrook is a fantastic pro golf course. The players have to hit a variety of shots, and there's a lot of danger everywhere -- and it's not just a ton of water hazards. There's a good field here for a reason.

The odds this week are absolutely atrocious, and I cannot overstate that enough. The value in these lines is not good at all.

Justin Thomas makes a lot of sense this week given his Innisbrook record and looking strong last week, but the odds are not particularly great for a guy who's just making his third start back.

Corey Conners should be on a lot of cards this week because he's a great ballstriker, and he was solid at The Players.

Marco Penge would be a wortwhile longer shot to me because he did really well at Riviera, which is a similar but very different test.
