Viktor Hovland tamed the Snake Pit, making birdies on two of the final three holes to edge Justin Thomas by one stroke and win the 2025 Valspar Championship on Sunday in Palm Harbor, Florida.
Hovland closed with a final-round 4-under 67 at Innisbrook Resort’s Copperhead Course to win for the seventh time on the PGA Tour and first time since 2023.
Hovland shared the 54-hole lead and came out roaring with birdies on two of his first three holes, pouring in a left-to-right bender at the first to grab the lead at 8-under and stretching it to two strokes with a 15-footer at three.
