The Valero Texas Open will be held at The Oaks Course at TPC San Antonio for the 15th consecutive year. This tournament marks the final opportunity for players to qualify for the Masters. A field of 156 players will compete in San Antonio, and only the winner, if not already qualified, will secure a spot in the prestigious Masters tournament.
Last year, Akshay Bhatia won in a playoff against Denny McCarthy. Both players are returning this year. Bhatia will be competing for the first time since his third-place finish at the Players Championship on March 17th. 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 pool of $9.5 million, with the winner receiving $1,710,000.
