2025 Fantasy Outlook
After spending four years as a full-time player on the DP World Tour, Valimaki tried his hand on the PGA Tour for the first time and flashed early with a runner-up finish at the Mexico Open. The momentum halted there, however, as he missed six of his next eight cuts and ultimately posted just a pair of top-25s all year. He's not long or straight off the tee and considering he posted a couple of good results this fall overseas, it's possible that the Finnish golfer's game is better suited in Europe.

4th place after Sunday 62
March 30, 2025
Valimaki fired an eight-under 62 on Sunday to surge into solo fourth place at the Texas Children's Houston Open.
ANALYSIS
Valimaki's 62 in the final round tied the low round of the day. It included an eagle on the par-5 3rd hole along with six birdies. His iron play was spectacular this week, leading the field in both SG: Approach and GIR's. Valimaki ended up just three shots away from a playoff on Sunday and is still in search of that first PGA Tour win. He will tee it up at the Valero Texas Open next week.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Valimaki picked up his second DP World Tour win at the Qatar Masters after prevailing in a playoff over Jorge Campillo. That was one of seven top-11 finishes for the Fin to help him lock up a PGA Tour card for 2024. Valimaki was just 29th in SG: Total on the DPWT last season so there is certainly still room to grow across the board at age 25. Retaining his card for 2025 would be a great achievement for this young player.
