Our three best tips for the 2025 Valspar Championship

The PGA Tour’s Florida swing continues this week with the 2025 Valspar Championship in Palm Harbor, which is just north of St. Petersburg. Here are the three golfers we like the most this week.

Tommy Fleetwood

One of the most bizarre stories in golf is the fact that world number nine Tommy Fleetwood of Southport, England has never won on the PGA Tour. He has won seven times on the European Tour, and has lost to Nick Taylor of Canada in a playoff at the 2023 RBC Canadian Open. In his five PGA events in 2025, Fleetwood has finished between fifth and 22nd. Due to the fact the Valspar Championship will miss some of the golf world’s biggest stars due to fatigue from the Players’ Championship, now may be the right time to pick England’s number one. He is TopSport’s favourite, and received high praise last week from Golf Channel for how his game has been as of late.

Sepp Straka

The best golfer we have ever seen from Austria has been mightily consistent in 2025. In addition to his win at the American Express in January, Straka is now at 11th in the world following his 14th finish at the Players. Ok, Straka did miss the cut at the Genesis Invitational,  but the fact he has been in the top 15 in seven of nine events in 2025 is mighty impressive.

 Sam Burns

Over the last four years, American Sam Burns of Shreveport, Louisiana has won the Valspar Championship twice. He posted a score of -17 and beat Keegan Bradley by three strokes in 2021, and defended his title a year later in 2022, with a four round score of -17 and beat American Davis Riley in a playoff.
