2024 Valspar Championship Payouts for Each Tour Player
Another Round of Golf | March 24, 2024
In a masterful display of precision, Peter Malnati orchestrated a flawless round of 4-under 67 during the climactic moments, solidifying his victory with a commanding 12-under 272, triumphing by a two-stroke margin.
His stellar performance not only secured him 500 FedExCup points but also netted him a substantial $1,512,000 in winnings. Pre-tournament odds of +25000 seemed to underestimate Malnati’s prowess, as he showcased unwavering determination throughout the tournament.
This win marked the end of a personal drought for Malnati, breaking an eight-year and 5 1/2-month hiatus since his previous PGA TOUR triumph at the Sanderson Farms Championship in 2015. His remarkable consistency, particularly evident on the challenging Snake Pit of the Copperhead Course at Innisbrook Resort, where he navigated the treacherous Nos. 16, 17, and 18 without a single bogey, underscored his enduring skill and resilience.
Emerging as the third-longest victor among a distinguished roster of champions in 2024, Malnati’s unexpected triumph echoes the theme of perseverance and unexpected success that defines the PGA TOUR landscape. Notable mentions include Nick Dunlap, whose improbable victory at The American Express as an amateur defied +40000 odds, and Grayson Murray, who secured his long-awaited second TOUR title at the Sony Open with odds of +30000.
In a compelling display of skill and tenacity, Cameron Young secured a commendable solo second place, demonstrating remarkable consistency with four sub-70 rounds. Despite falling short of the title, Young’s performance established him as a formidable contender, with odds of +2200 to win, making him one of the shortest among all PGA TOUR non-winners and tying for the sixth-shortest overall. This marks the seventh career runner-up finish for the accomplished 2021-22 Rookie of the Year.
Rounding out the top contenders were Mackenzie Hughes and PGA TOUR rookie Chandler Phillips, who delivered impressive performances to secure a two-way tie for third place. With odds of +10000 and +30000 respectively, their resilient play underscored the unpredictable nature of tournament golf and the emergence of new talent on the PGA TOUR stage. Meanwhile, tournament favorite Xander Schauffele, with odds of +750, showcased his formidable skills with a stellar final-round 65 to finish in a respectable T5 position, further solidifying his status as a perennial contender on the tour.
