The Valero Texas Open will be held for the 15th consecutive year at The Oaks Course at TPC San Antonio, 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. The winner, if not already qualified, will secure a spot in the year`s first major 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 17. McCarthy is aiming for a win after achieving five top-20 finishes this season. Corey Conners, a two-time Valero Texas Open champion (2019 and 2023), will also be participating. The tournament offers a total prize of $9.5 million, with the winner receiving $1,710,000.
