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.

Shoots one-under Sunday
January 27, 2025
Valimaki carded a one-under 71 at the final round of the Farmers Insurance Open to finish tied for 15th place.
ANALYSIS
Valimaki's 71 on Sunday was tied for the 5th-best score in the final round, birdieing three of his final 11 holes to jump 26 spots up the leaderboard. The Finnish golfer excelled on the green throughout the weekend, finishing the event with the fourth-fewest putts per green in regulation (1.69) and the fourth-most strokes gained from putting (5.79). Valimaki will aim to build momentum after his strong finish Sunday, finishing in the top 15 for the first time in 2025.

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.
