SportsLine's model simulated the 2025 Valspar Championship 10,000 times and revealed its PGA Tour longshots

After what turned into a five-day Players Championship with Rory McIlroy defeating JJ Spaun in a playoff on Monday, the PGA Tour season continues with the 2025 Valspar Championship teeing off from the Copperhead Course at Innisbrook Resort in Palm Harbor, Florida, on Thursday, March 20. Spaun would have been a significant longshot victor at golf's "fifth major" at 110-1 odds before the tournament, compared to McIlroy who had one of the shortest odds of the weekend. Is there another sizeable longshot who can make a run and possibly capture the 2025 Valspar Championship?

Justin Thomas, Xander Schauffele and Tommy Fleetwood are the 14-1 co-favorites (risk $100 to win $1,400) in the latest 2025 Valspar Championship odds, but longshots have dominated this event in recent years. Peter Malnati won last year at 350-1 odds for his first PGA Tour victory since 2015 and his odds have nearly tripled at 1000-1 (risk $100 to win $100,000) this week. Taylor Moore, who won in 2023, has 50-1 odds, so which longshots should you consider for 2025 Valspar Championship bets? Malnati has missed the cut in five of his past seven starts on the PGA Tour and is +1600 (risk $100 to win $1,600) to crack the top 20.
