5 sleeper picks to watch out for at the 2024 Valspar Championship

1) Matti Schmid

According to the PGA Tour, Matti Schmid with odds of +15000 is one of the top sleeper picks to win the Valspar Championship. The German golfer turned pro in 2021. He recently finished T10 at the Puerto Rico Open and T26 at the PLAYERS Championship.

2) Min Woo Lee

Min Woo Lee is another long shot to win the event with odds of +3300. The World No. 32 won the Fortinet Australian PGA Championship in 2023 and is hoping to bag a tournament this season after finishing runner-up at the 2024 Cognizant Classic.

3) Joel Dahmen

Pro golfer Joel Dahmen (+12000) finished T11 at the 2024 PLAYERS Championship. Dahmen's strong performance at the PLAYERS might be an indication of his ability to win this week.

4) Ricky Castillo

Ricky Castillo is making his debut on the PGA Tour at the Valspar Championship. The top-ranked amateur golfer has a lot of potential, and fans would be excited to see him win on the big stage.

5) Seamus Power

Power has odds of +15000 going into the event. With a T21 at the 2024 Arnold Palmer Invitational, this weekend is a good chance for Power to capitalize on his strengths.
