2026 Valspar Championship Betting Online
The Valspar Championship has the dubious distinction of following THE PLAYERS Championship on the PGA Tour schedule and that means a weaker field. We won’t see Scottie Scheffler or Rory McIlroy playing this week but there are seven players ranked in the Top 20 in the latest World Golf Rankings in the field, led by No. 7 Xander Schauffele who is listed as the golf betting favorite. The Copperhead Course at Innisbrook Resort in Palm Harbor, Florida hosts the Valspar Championship each season. This event was founded in 2000 as the Tampa Bay Classic and it has been held in the spring, summer and fall. The event has had a number of sponsors, but it is currently sponsored by the Valspar Corporation. Only four players have won this event more than once, Sam Burns, Paul Casey, K.J. Choi and Retief Goosen. The Valspar Championship is not one of the Signature Events, but it still has a prize purse of $9.1 million dollars.
Catch all of the action at the Valspar Championship from Thursday, March 19 through Sunday, March 22. Viktor Hovland is the defending champion and he is listed as the second choice in PGA odds behind Schauffele.

2026 Valspar Championship at a Glance
Course: Innisbrook Resort (Copperhead), Palm Harbor, FL
Par: 71
Course Lengths: 7,340 yards
Defending Champion: Viktor Hovland
Tournament Record: -18 (Vijay Singh, 2004)
This tournament is held at Copperhead which is a tree-lined course that presents a strong challenge. The course features lakes and ponds but unlike many Florida golf courses, there is not an over-abundance of water. Many professionals have compared this course to some of the great golf courses in the Midwest. The course features more than 80 feet of elevation change. Vijay Singh holds the tournament record at 18-under par, but that mark was nearly equaled in 2021 and 2022 by Sam Burns who shot 17-under par.

Betting Rules & Policies
Free Play Rules
- Free plays cannot be used on proposition bets.
- Free Plays do not earn any BetPoints™
- Bets made using Free Plays do not count towards completing any rollovers. (Free Plays are always subject to a rollover of their own. You must complete the required rollover prior to making a withdrawal).
- The maximum payout for any Free Play is $5,000.
- Free Plays that are left unused for 180 days will be removed from your account.
ROLLOVER
- Did you know that on all deposits made at BookMaker, there is a rollover requirement: an amount of betting action you must fulfill before you are eligible to make a withdrawal.
- Did you know that rollovers are calculated by multiplying the amount initially credited to your account a certain number of times? Yes! If you deposit without claiming any bonus, the rollover will always be 1x (one-time) your deposit amount. If you do claim a deposit bonus, the rollover will be higher and is based on the deposit plus bonus amount.
Wager disputes (claims)
If you disagree with any aspect of a wager you’ve placed, you are welcome to log an official dispute (commonly known as a “claim”). Claims must be reported no later than 15 (fifteen) calendar days following the settlement of the wager.
If following an initial review of the case there remains any doubt regarding the wager type, line, market, amount, or any other detail, the claim will be escalated to the BookMaker management team. All decisions made by them are final.
Wager Cash Out - How it works
With the Cash Out feature you can choose to eliminate a wager that's already been placed, and receive back either a portion, or your full stake amount.
Cash Out is selectively available on certain events, fixtures, and markets.
In order to see if a wager is eligible to be cashed out, simply navigate to your Bet Slip and check the 'My Open Bets' tab. If eligible, the Cash Out button will be displayed.
It’s also important to note that Cash Out is not contributing to any bonus or promotion including Bet Point accumulation and Rollover for releasing bonus cash.
