2025 Fantasy Outlook
Valimaki was in danger of losing his status with three events to go but sprung into action, finishing T2 at the World Wide Technology Championship and later won the season-ending RSM Classic for his maiden Tour victory. That moved him up to 40th in the OWGR and will solidify his first trip to Augusta National in addition to at least the first two Signature Events of 2026. The 27-year-old will be entering his third year on Tour, and he stands out with well above average accuracy, iron play and putting. His lack of distance and poor around the green play can cause him to struggle on longer and tougher venues, however. Even so, there aren't many players that will be feeling more confident following a strong second half of the year. Read Past Outlooks

Seventh in SG: APP at Riviera
February 23, 2026
Valimaki closed with a three-under 68 on Sunday at The Genesis Invitational to finish four-under and tied for 37th.
ANALYSIS
Valimaki excelled with his iron play at Riviera where he ranked second among the field in overall proximity and seventh in SG: Approach, but he lost 1.28 strokes off the tee and another 3.56 strokes with his short game. He's now gained strokes on approach in three consecutive starts, placing T41-T34-T37 from the WM Phoenix Open through The Genesis Invitational. Valimaki is slated to be in attendance again this week for the Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches, where he finished T48-MC the past two years.

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.
