2026 Valero Texas Open: PGA Betting and Fantasy Preview - Key Stats, Course Breakdown, Tournament Trends, TV Times, and More

Brian Harman - PGA DFS Picks, Golf Betting Picks, Daily Fantasy Golf

2026 Valero Texas Open betting and fantasy golf preview with key stats, TPC San Antonio (Oaks) course breakdown, field analysis, and TV times for this week’s PGA Tour event.

The PGA Tour travels to San Antonio, Texas, this week for the Valero Texas Open, the second of two stops in Texas leading into the first major of the season. The event takes place at TPC San Antonio (Oaks Course) and features a 132-player field with a cut after 36 holes.

The Valero Texas Open serves as the final tune-up before the Masters Tournament for players who have already qualified, while also offering one last opportunity for those still looking to secure a spot in the field. Collin Morikawa is a player to watch this week. He has already picked up a win this year, but recently withdrew from THE PLAYERS Championship due to a back injury, making his form and health worth monitoring heading into Augusta.

Valero Texas Open - Course/Tournament History

The Valero Texas Open, the third-oldest event on the PGA TOUR, has a rich history dating back to 1922. Originally known as the Texas Open, it has been played at various courses in the San Antonio area, with TPC San Antonio’s Oaks Course serving as the host since 2010. The tournament has been known for producing dramatic finishes and has seen notable champions such as Arnold Palmer, who won three consecutive titles from 1960 to 1962. As a staple on the PGA TOUR schedule, the Valero Texas Open often serves as the final opportunity for players to secure a spot in The Masters, adding an extra layer of excitement and intensity to the competition.

The TPC San Antonio Oaks Course, designed by Greg Norman with consultation from Sergio Garcia, opened in 2010 and has been the host course of the Valero Texas Open since that same year. Known for its challenging layout, the Oaks Course features narrow fairways, strategically placed bunkers, and undulating greens that test even the best players on the PGA TOUR. Measuring over 7,400 yards from the championship tees, the course requires precision off the tee and solid approach play to navigate its demanding setup. Its signature par-3 16th hole, with a natural limestone quarry guarding the green, is a standout feature that often plays a pivotal role in determining the outcome of the tournament.

Valero Texas Open - Course Guide/ Scorecard

Originally crafted by Greg Norman in 2010, the Oaks Course at TPC San Antonio features a traditional Par 72 layout, comprising four Par 3s, ten Par 4s, and four Par 5s. Stretching over 7,400 yards from the championship tees, the course demands precision and strategic play, especially off the tee. The narrow fairways are framed by dense native oak trees and penalizing bunkers, leaving little room for error for errant drives.

The course’s primary defense lies in its length and tight fairways, but the challenges don’t stop there. Approach shots require accuracy, as the greens are firm, undulating, and well-guarded by deep bunkers and collection areas. The putting surfaces, designed to mimic Augusta National’s slick and undulating greens, add another layer of complexity, making lag putting crucial.

Additionally, TPC San Antonio (Oaks Course) is highly susceptible to winds, which often sweep through the Texas Hill Country, making club selection tricky and significantly impacting approach shots. Holes like the 591-yard Par 5 18th, which plays directly into the prevailing wind, and the 241-yard Par 3 13th, which demands a long iron or hybrid over a cavernous bunker, can quickly turn into scorecard wreckers if not navigated properly.

Water hazards are limited but strategically placed to come into play on key holes, while the natural limestone outcroppings and native grasses provide both a scenic backdrop and an additional layer of difficulty.

Valero Texas Open - Notable Par 3s

The five Par 3s range between 171 yards and 241 yards. Last year, all of the par 3s had a scoring average over par except for No. 13 and No. 16.

Hole 3 | Par 3 | 171 Yards | 2025 Stroke Average: 3.124 (Difficulty Rank - 6)

Welcome to the first par 3 on The Oaks course at TPC San Antonio. This 213-yard beauty is one of only two holes on the course which require carry over water. This hole is not for the faint of heart. A confident swing is required with a medium or long iron to carry the water and reach the green. The only miss for the player on this hole is long. It is a must for players to land their tee shot on the appropriate level of the green. Players who find themselves on the opposite side of the pin will have to summon their best touch to avoid a three-putt. Once again, par is a good score here.

Hole 16 | Par 3 | 183 Yards | 2025 Stroke Average: 2.981 (Difficulty Rank - 11)

Arguably and soon to be known as one of the most unique par 3’s in golf, the short 16th hole features a creative green defined by beautiful bunkers on both sides and the unique feature of a bunker in the center, which divides the green into 3 smaller targets. An assortment of teeing areas offers the player not only different yardages but different angles into the green. Put it on the right spot of green and birdie or par is almost a certainty. Put it on the wrong side of the bunker, and anything goes.

 

Valero Texas Open - Notable Par 4s

There are ten Par 4s on the Oaks Course at TPC San Antonio, with the majority of those holes ranging between 400 and 450 yards. No. 17 is the shortest, listed at 347 yards, with the longest being No. 4, playing 481 yards. In terms of scoring average, the toughest par 4 on the course last year was the 1st hole.

Hole 4 | Par 4 | 481 Yards | 2025 Stroke Average: 4.248 (Difficulty Rank - 4)

Hole #4 on the Oaks course at TPC San Antonio is possibly the most difficult par 4 on the front 9. This hole was the first hole to be grassed during construction and has a stately and majestic feel about it. The tee shot requires power and precision as the fairway is one of the narrowest on the course. Finding the fairway is a must. A well-struck tee shot leaves the player with a long iron or fairway wood second shot to a beautiful but devilish green. This green site is one of the most picturesque on The Oaks course at TPC San Antonio, with old gnarly oak trees clearly evident around it, along with the artistic bunkers featuring a rock outcropping along the back edge. This green has significant movement in it, and two putts for the player will be considered a success. Par on this hole is like a birdie.

Hole 11 | Par 4 | 405 Yards | 2025 Stroke Average: 3.957 (Difficulty Rank - 14)

The eleventh is one of the most striking holes on the Oaks course at TPC San Antonio. Players face a decision off the tee, to challenge the cross bunker, which requires a 220-yard carry from the back tee or play safely, laying up short of the bunker. This hole rewards heroism because a great tee shot leaves only a short pitch to the green. A short drive on the right side means carrying a deep greenside bunker on the approach. Once on the green, the player’s work is not done. The green features some interesting pitch and roll to catch your attention. The player may be rewarded with a birdie for playing aggressively.

 

Valero Texas Open - Notable Par 5s

There are four Par 5s on the course: No. 2, No. 8, No. 14, and No. 18. All of these holes had a scoring average under par in 2025. Hole No. 14 was the easiest hole on the course last year, with a scoring average of 0.448 below par.

Hole 8 | Par 5 | 604 Yards | 2025 Stroke Average: 4.981 (Difficulty Rank - 12)

The second Par 5 on the front nine is the exact opposite of its neighboring Par 5 Hole #2. This hole plays uphill and downwind, stretching more than 600 yards in length from the back tees. Try to avoid the left side off the tee and the beautiful specimen Oak that was transplanted to this hole from the 14th. A good tee shot will find the player at the crest of the hill. The second shot can be anything from a mid-iron to a fairway wood, depending on your preferred approach shot. It is vital the player’s second shot ends up in the fairway, allowing for a controlled approach to this split level, heavily contoured and well protected green. Finding the right level on the green is important to ensure you don’t spend too much time putting around.

Hole 18 | Par 5 | 591 Yards | 2025 Stroke Average: 4.941 (Difficulty Rank - 15)

A fantastic final hole for our fantastic finish. The 18th hole is a long, uphill par 5. The tee shot should be shaped left to right in order to remain in a fairway sloping from right to left. After the tee shot, players should play up the right side, being cautious to avoid the creek which bisects the fairway and the spectacular bunkers on the right. The third shot will be played with a short iron uphill to a green which is segregated into 3 levels and is well protected by a hill country creek and three bunkers. Players may have visions of making a final birdie to win the Valero Texas Open on this one.

Featured/ Signature Hole(s): 16

Statistics PGA Tour Average TPC San Antonio (Oaks Course)
Driving Distance (Yards) 291.9 293.9
Driving Accuracy 60.5% 51.2%
GIR Percentage 66.1% 58.8%
Avg GIR Prox to Hole (Feet) 37.2 39.0
Scrambling Percentage 58.9% 60.3%
3 Putt Avoidance Percentage 2.83% 2.38%

Good Drives Gained

  • Good Drives Gained is a key stat at the Valero Texas Open due to the layout of TPC San Antonio (Oaks Course). The course features tight fairways, strategically placed bunkers, and several water hazards, meaning accuracy off the tee is crucial for setting up approach shots. While distance is important, keeping the ball in play and avoiding trouble is even more critical. Players who can consistently find the fairway or position themselves well for their next shot are at a distinct advantage, as it allows them to attack the greens and avoid the penalty of wayward tee shots. In four of the last five editions of the Valero Texas Open, the tournament winner has ranked 12th or better in Good Drives Gained.

Strokes Gained: Off the Tee

  • Success at TPC San Antonio (Oaks Course) this week will largely depend on a player’s ability to position themselves effectively off the tee. While the course’s length highlights the importance of distance, accuracy is equally crucial. In three of the last four editions of the Valero Texas Open, the tournament winner has ranked 10th or better in Strokes Gained: Off the Tee.

Strokes Gained: Approach

  • Strong approach play has been a critical factor for success at the Valero Texas Open in recent years. In four of the last five editions of the Valero Texas Open, the tournament winner has ranked 4th or better in Strokes Gained: Approach. In each of the last three editions of the Valero Texas Open, the winner has ranked 2nd or better in this category.

Strokes Gained: Around the Green

  • Strokes Gained: Around the Green is crucial at the Valero Texas Open due to the challenging nature of TPC San Antonio (Oaks Course). With firm greens, tight lies, and tricky runoff areas, players frequently face difficult chip and pitch shots after missing greens in regulation. Strong performance around the green allows players to save par and stay in contention, especially in windy conditions that often make approach shots harder to control. In four of the last five editions of the Valero Texas Open, the tournament winner has ranked 24th or better in Strokes Gained: Around the Green.

Strokes Gained: Putting (Bermudagrass/ Poa Trivialis)

  • The green complexes at TPC San Antonio (Oaks Course) are Champion Bermudagrass with Poa trivialis overseed .110”.  Comfort on Bermuda is key, and elite putting has been a major separator here. Four of the last five winners have ranked 24th or better in Strokes Gained: Putting for the week.

Strokes Gained: Total (Wind: Moderate)

  • Strokes Gained: Total (Wind: Moderate) is a key stat to consider at the Valero Texas Open, given the frequent windy conditions at TPC San Antonio. The Oaks Course features exposed fairways and demanding approach shots that can be significantly impacted by the wind. Players who excel in moderate wind conditions tend to maintain better control and consistency when the breeze picks up.

Par 4 Scoring: 400-500 Yards

  • Nine of the ten Par 4s at TPC San Antonio (Oaks Course) fall within the 400-500 yard range. Of these, five measure between 400-450 yards, while four stretch between 450-500 yards. The only exception is No. 17, which plays as a shorter Par 4 at 347 yards.

Par 5 Scoring: 550-600 Yards

  • All four par 5s at TPC San Antonio (Oaks Course) generally fall within the 550-600 yard range. The only slight exceptions are Hole No. 2, listed at 602 yards, and Hole No. 8, listed at 604 yards. Since both are just a few yards beyond the range, they’ve been included in this category.

Birdies or Better Gained

  • Birdies or Better Gained is crucial at the Valero Texas Open due to the course layout at TPC San Antonio (Oaks Course), which features multiple scoring opportunities. The relatively reachable par 5s and some shorter par 4s provide players with chances to rack up birdies and eagles, making it essential for contenders to capitalize on these opportunities. While accuracy and scrambling are important, players who can consistently make birdies or better, particularly when navigating tricky holes, will have a distinct advantage in a tournament where low scores are often key to securing a victory.

Bogey Avoidance

  • Bogey avoidance is a critical factor at the Valero Texas Open due to the demanding nature of TPC San Antonio (Oaks Course). The course features narrow fairways, strategically placed bunkers, and challenging greens that can punish errant shots. Wind often plays a factor as well, making it difficult to consistently hit greens in regulation. Players who can minimize mistakes and scramble effectively tend to fare better, as avoiding bogeys helps maintain momentum and stay in contention on this challenging layout. In four of the last five editions of the Valero Texas Open, the tournament winner has ranked 6th or better in Bogey Avoidance.

Proximity Gained: 200+ Yards

  • A large percentage of approach shots at TPC San Antonio (Oaks Course) come from the 200+ yard range. Players who excel with long irons from these distances will generate more birdie opportunities while minimizing mistakes on a course that punishes poor approach shots.

Comparable Courses and Event History

  • Course history at TPC San Antonio (Oaks Course) can be valuable, as the layout places a premium on ball striking, particularly off the tee and with long irons, while also demanding a steady putting performance on Bermudagrass greens.
