The Valspar Championship Picks, Props, Predictions: Betting Jordan Spieth, Sepp Straka and Tom Kim
We had our first first-round lead winner last week and it came, once again, from Tap in Birdie podcast host Brian Kirschner, who hit J.J. Spaun on a +8000 ticket with a three-way chop at The Players. That’s Kirschner’s second correct pick this year following Joe Highsmith (+11000) at the Cognizant. We’re all chasing Kirschner, who is now up over 118 units on the year.
This week, the SI Golf Betting panel turns its attention to the Valspar Championship at the Innisbrook Resort Copperhead Course. This is the last stop of the Florida swing and the weather is expected to play a big role in the outcome, with the AM-PM tee time having an advantage, on paper, over the PM-AM group, which is expected to see heavier winds.
The panel is comprised of Kirschner, SI Golf betting insiders Iain MacMillan and Matt Vincenzi, SI senior golf editor John Schwarb, FanSided senior editor and golf bettor Cody Williams and Minute Media VP of Betting Content Brian Giuffra. Each week, we make picks for our outright winner, longshot, first-round leader, favorite prop bet and winning score prediction.
On the year, MacMillan is down 11.86 units but is 4-2 on his prop picks. Vincenzi is down 16 units and is 2-4 on props. Giuffra is down 17 units and is 3-2 on props. Schwarb is down 19 units, but hit his prop last week and is now 2-4 on the year. Williams is down 21 units and is 1-5 on props.
Besides the weather, the Copperhead Course favors accurate drivers who can move the ball both ways. There will be some longer approach shots this week and some long Par 3s as well.
Despite coming a week after The Players, there are plenty of big names in the field. Our panel picked a few of them, though not the ones you might think.
Here are our picks with breakdowns of them below the graphic.

Djokovic learns fate in new home as Sabalenka addresses behaviour
Express Sport brings you the latest tennis news from the Paris Masters.
We’re reaching the business end of the Paris Masters, as eight players become four in the French capital. Jannik Sinner is the overwhelming favourite to lift the trophy after Carlos Alcaraz was dumped out by Cameron Norrie in the Spaniard’s opening match. Norrie was then beaten by Valentin Vacherot, whose amazing 10-match winning streak at Masters 1000 level came to an end when he lost to Felix Auger-Aliassime.
Canadian star Auger-Aliassime will face Alexander Bublik in the semis. Bublik defeated Alex de Minaur, who is among those to have already qualified for the year-end ATP Finals. Sinner is through to his first Paris Masters semi-final after beating Ben Shelton. He’ll face defending champion Alexander Zverev, who survived a tough match against Daniil Medvedev.
Novak Djokovic is not involved in the Paris Masters, having decided to skip the event for the second year in a row, but he has learned his fate in the draw of next week’s ATP 250 in Athens. And over in Riyadh, the WTA Finals are about to get underway.
