Valspar Championship Results, Payouts: Viktor Hovland snaps 18-month winless drought

Viktor Hovland won the 2025 Valspar Championship, his first win since the 2023 FedEx Cup. Here are full results and payouts.

Somehow, someway, Viktor Hovland capped off the Florida Swing with a victory at the Valspar Championship — one week after firing a second-round 80 at TPC Sawgrass and missing a third straight cut at The Players.

He began the day in a share of the lead with Nico Echavarria and Jacob Bridgeman but quickly seized control with birdies on two of his first three holes. Hovland then cooled off a bit, dropping a shot on the par-4 7th, which put him in a tie with Justin Thomas atop the leaderboard at 8-under par. But Thomas then caught fire on the back-nine, making four birdies over a five-hole stretch to leap up to 12-under. After Thomas birdied the par-3 15th, it looked like Thomas would be the one snapping a long winless drought, not Hovland. And yet, Hovland never folded. Instead, Thomas did, making bogies on the challenging par-4 16th and the 18th to finish at 10-under. Hovland birdied the 16th, thanks to a gorgeous approach from 186 yards out that settled six feet away. That proved the difference, as Hovland added another par-breaker on the par-3 17th. He then had a two-shot cushion as he played the 18th and ultimately won by a stroke.

The win gives him his first victory since the 2023 Tour Championship at East Lake and will also provide him with ample momentum going into Augusta National next month. Hovland’s swing has been all over the place as of late, but perhaps he can sustain this groove going into the bulk of major championship season.
