Viktor Hovland Wins 2025 Valspar Championship in Dramatic Finish

Hovland secures his first PGA Tour title since 2023 with a final-round 67, overcoming Justin Thomas by one stroke on the challenging Copperhead Course.

Viktor Hovland finished at 11-under par to claim victory, marking his seventh PGA Tour title and ending a 574-day winless streak.
Justin Thomas, who shot a career-best 65 in the third round, faltered late in the final round to finish one stroke behind Hovland.
The Copperhead Course continued to test players with firm greens and swirling winds, pushing the cutline to 2-over par earlier in the tournament.
Emerging talent Jacob Bridgeman and consistent veteran Shane Lowry were among the notable competitors in a tightly packed leaderboard.
Several high-profile players, including two-time Valspar champion Sam Burns and defending champion Peter Malnati, missed the cut due to the course's difficulty.
