The Valero Texas Open, a fixture on the PGA Tour for 15 consecutive years, returns to the Oaks Course at TPC San Antonio this week. Concluding the Tour`s Texas swing, the tournament follows Min Woo Lee`s recent victory at the Texas Children`s Houston Open. A field of 156 golfers will compete in San Antonio for the last opportunity to secure a spot in the Masters Tournament. For any player not already qualified, winning the Valero Texas Open is the only path to entry into the year`s first major championship.
Last year`s Valero Texas Open saw Akshay Bhatia triumph over Denny McCarthy in a playoff. Both Bhatia and McCarthy are back this year, aiming for another victory. Bhatia will be competing for the first time since his impressive third-place tie at the Players Championship on March 17th. McCarthy is seeking a breakthrough win after achieving five top-20 finishes this season. Corey Conners, a two-time Valero Texas Open champion (2019 and 2023), will also be competing. The tournament offers a total prize pool of $9.5 million, with the winner taking home $1,710,000.
