2024 Valspar Championship Betting Preview
The PGA Tour’s Florida swing has been tame this year. It seems everywhere the Tour goes, they run into a softer-than-usual course due to the lead-in weather. Add in relatively calm winds by Florida standards and you have the recipe for lower scores. There is still one more chance for the Sunshine State to provide […]
