Jordan Spieth was coming in as the 17/2 favorite.
While Spieth has yet to amass a win this season, the three-time major champion feels confident about his game entering Thursday’s tournament.
"It's progressing. Actually really like where I'm at right at this second in regards to approaching Augusta," Spieth said Wednesday at his press conference. "It's just been kind of simple things, alignment stuff that typically had been done in the offseason but I was pretty sick and then therefore I had to kind of learn on the go during the season to start and (I've) just been trying to get comfortable with the short game, kind of just in my stance, just seeing my lines and when you can't really see your lines it's difficult to commit.
"Ball striking is all there to win golf tournaments. Just a matter of seeing a couple putts go in and getting comfortable early in a tournament and gaining that confidence."
Rory McIlroy, Sergio Garcia and Justin Rose each have the next shortest odds of winning the 2018 Valspar Championship at between 14/1 and 16/1 depending on the book.
McIlroy has struggled in three PGA Tour starts this season.
He was runner up at the Omega Dubai Desert Classic in January and missed the cut entirely at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am then went on to finish T-59 at 9 over two weeks ago at the Honda Classic.
He’s playing the Valspar for the first time in his career.
“The golf course is in great shape,” McIlroy said. “They could have had the tournament in a couple of days’ time.”
Many eyes will be on Tiger Woods, who enters this tournament at 25/1 odds of winning.
