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.

Runner-up in Vallarta
February 25, 2024
Valimaki closed with a final round two-under 69 at the Mexico Open, finishing two shots behind champion Jake Knapp.
ANALYSIS
Valimaki began the day with a four-shot deficit but was able to tie the lead following an eagle on the par-4 seventh hole. The momentum stalled from there, however, as he played his next six holes in one-over. Heading into the closing par-5 18th hole trailing by two, any hopes were dashed when Valimaki's tee-shot found the penalty area. Nevertheless, it was an excellent week for the 25-year-old rookie, who hadn't previously posted a top-20 on the PGA Tour.

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.
