The Valero Texas Open is being held at TPC San Antonio`s Oaks Course for the 15th consecutive year, marking the PGA Tour`s final stop in Texas. Following Min Woo Lee`s victory at the Texas Children`s Houston Open, a field of 156 players will compete in San Antonio for a last-minute chance to qualify for the Masters Tournament. The only way to secure a spot in the year`s first major championship for those not already qualified is to win this tournament.
Last year, Akshay Bhatia won in a playoff against Denny McCarthy in San Antonio. Both players are returning to compete for the title again. Bhatia will be playing for the first time since his third-place tie at the Players Championship on March 17th. McCarthy is aiming for a win after already achieving five top-20 finishes this season. Corey Conners has previously won the Valero Texas Open in both 2019 and 2023. This year, players will compete for a share of the $9.5 million prize pool, with $1,710,000 awarded to the winner.
