2024 Valspar Championship Cut Line Revealed: The PGA Tour will conclude its journey through Florida for the 2024 Valspar Championship at the Copperhead Course in Palm Harbor, Florida, this week. The Copperhead Course stands out from other Florida layouts thanks to its increased number of forests and decreased number of water hazards.

The par-71 course is over 7,350 yards and is one of the most famous golf championships. The tournament’s “snake pit” course—the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth holes—will test competitors’ skills and strategies.
The weather is expected to affect competition this week. Kevin Streelman, a 2013 champion and PGA Tour veteran, led the first round at the Copperhead Course with a bogey-free 7-under 64 on Thursday.
However, the forecast predicts light precipitation and a breeze on Friday, which makes it unpredictable. Experts expect the weekend to have windy conditions, which could make players’ strategies more challenging and lead to a low-scoring match. The trim line may also be affected.

What is the cut line for the 2024 Valspar Championship?
The PGA Tour has had a standard cut for the second week in a row, following a series of non-traditional cuts or no cuts. This cut excludes performance-based rivals. The top 65 players and ties from the 155-man Valspar Championship field advance to the weekend following the second round.
Data Golf predicts a +1 cut line for the second round of the Valspar Championship. This cut line has a 38% chance of getting chosen, making it a marginal favorite. If so, it would be the event’s third time in six editions. Previous Valspar Championship cut lines were +1 and -3.
Only 11% of the time will the cut line revert to +2, whereas 37% will it be E.
Who will be excluded from the cut?
Tony Finau (+1), Matt Kuchar (+4), and Akshay Bhatia (+3) have terrific predicted cut scores. On Thursday at Innisbrook Resort in Florida, New Zealand golfer Ryan Fox shot a miserable 5-over 76. This comes one week after he missed the Players Championship cut despite his historic eagles on holes 16 and 17 at TPC Sawgrass and his Island Green hole-in-one. He trails American Kevin Streelman by 12 strokes after his recent course woes.
Fox has been experiencing medical issues. Before his second round at TPC Sawgrass, he contracted a virus that caused a crimson rash to appear on his hands and feet. His condition remained suboptimal as he approached the most recent PGA Tour event. Fox is exerting considerable effort to remain competitive and enhance his game despite his health issues.
