Matt Fitzpatrick leads the list of big names heading home early from the Valspar Championship

The reigning U.S. Open champion was among those who missed the cut outside Tampa.

The Valspar Championship at Innsbrook’s Copperhead Course in Palm Harbor, Florida, already lacked a slew of stars due to its place in the PGA Tour schedule (four of the five events leading up to the Valspar were designated, with another one coming next week).

And after the Friday cut was made, a few of the stars who did tee it up didn’t play well enough to earn a Saturday tee time.

Matt Fitzpatrick, who’s struggled with his game much of 2023, leads the list. The 13th-ranked player in the world is in the field for next week’s WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play in Austin, Texas.

Here are some of the names who missed the cut of 1-over 143 at the Valspar Championship.
