The PGA TOUR tees up in Palm Harbor, FL Thursday for The Valspar Championship. This is a fairly young tournament, being founded back in 2000, and most recently being the Tampa Bay Championship. This tournament has never really had a wealth of the big names play, and only seven of the top-25 golfers from the World Golf Rankings will be playing this weekend with the likes of Tiger Woods, Adam Scott, Rory McIlroy and Phil Mickelson all missing from the field. Last year, Kevin Streelman was the victor here with a 10-under performance on the par-71, 7,340-yard course. Let’s take a look at a few of the golfers that have a chance to grab a win come Sunday. Golfers to WatchMatt Kuchar (16/1): Kuchar has dropped out of the top-10 in the world recently, but has been playing extremely well this season. In six starts, he has ranked in the top-9 four times and was 13th at the tough Cadillac Championship last week. Kuchar also has two top-15 finishes at this tournament over the past two years and is in good position to grab his seventh PGA Tour victory against a subpar field this week. Luke Donald (18/1): Donald has actually not been having his best season, placing in the top-20 only once between the PGA and European Tours, with an 8th-place finish at the Honda Classic being his best effort. His past success at this event, including winning it in 2012 and coming in fourth place last year, should spur a vote of confidence for the Englishman and former No. 1 golfer. Jim Furyk (28/1): Just like Donald, Furyk is a former champion of this tournament, winning it back in 2010 with a score of 13-under par. The 43-year old has shown plenty of life this season with an 8th-place finish at the Northwestern Mutual World Challenge and a 5th-place finish in the Accenture match play. He did play poorly last week at the Cadillac Championship though, shooting 18-over par and finishing 62nd in the small field, so expect a bounce-back performance from the veteran. Harris English (15/1): English has been flying up the World Golf Rankings and has gone from 148th last year at this time to his current ranking of 38th in the world. On the season, English ranks fifth in the FedEx Cup standings while having six top-10 performances in 11 tournaments; including a victory at the OHL Classic. The youngster's solid scores have come from hitting the greens in regulation a whopping 73.3% of the time (6th on tour), which have led to a stellar 4.28 birdies per round (4th on tour). Paul Casey (70/1): Casey has dropped quite a bit since being ranked No. 3 in the world back in 2009, but has played well over his past two tournaments; placing 9th in the Omega Dubai Desert Classic and 12th at the Honda Classic. He has 15 career European Tour wins, but only one victory on the PGA Tour, so look for Casey to try and make a bigger name for himself on U.S. soil this week.
