PGA Tour Power Rankings: Valspar Championship
By Sam Belden
Henrik Stenson — 58th
Discounting the withdrawal, Stenson has found the top 10 in each of his last six starts, excelling on three different continents. That stretch includes three runner-up finishes, including a solo second at the Dubai Desert Classic just a few weeks ago, so it seems like it’s only a matter of time before he hoists another trophy. In addition, Stenson has compiled a strong record at Innisbrook in just a couple of years, tying for 11th last season and notching a solo fourth in 2015. If he can learn from his past, he just might be able to get over the hump this time around.
Blessed with one of the best all-around games in golf, Stenson’s already impressive profile looks even better when viewed against a field like this one. Even with his recent illness, the 40-year-old is more than worthy of frontrunner status this week.
