Jordan Spieth a Horse for Course History at TPC San Antonio

Any event in the Lone Star State seems to have Jordan Spieth somewhere in the historical record. TPC San Antonio is certainly one of those places and events. Winning this event in 2021, the 32-year-old has been a factor here in each phase of his turbulent journey. Most recently, finishing T12 last season. Though more […]

Things are looking well for Robert MacIntyre following a solo fourth-place finish at The Players.

Collin Morikawa Withdraws From Valero Texas Open

Stephan Jaegar Still Looking For Consistency at Valero Texas Open

Everything looked great for Stephan Jaeger during Thursday's opening round last week in Houston. He was near the lead before going +3 on holes six and seven (his 15th and 16th holes of the day).

Tony Finau a Risky Proposition at Valero Texas Open

It isn't that Tony Finau is playing terrible golf; it's just a very uninspiring version of it. No part of his game has been consistent enough to be excited about, with his strokes gained around the green being the highest-ranked SG metric he has (23rd: 0.312). His time at TPC San Antonio is also not […]

It hasn't been too many weeks since we all witnessed Ludvig Aberg give up a three-shot lead on the back nine at The Players, ultimately falling to a T5 finish. Still, the show must go on, and if there is anyone seemingly built with the mind to stay calm and persevere, it's the Swede. He'll […]

Patrick Rodgers Needs to Make More Birdies in San Antonio

Patrick Rodgers missed the cut in Houston simply because the birdies were not there. The American golfer went 72-72 during the first two rounds. It was the first time Rodgers was in the negative when it came to strokes gained to putting since Scottsdale (WM Phoenix Open). Was last week a blip? That is possible […]

Sepp Straka has enjoyed a very solid 2026 season so far. The Austrian golfer has four Top 25 results in six events and comes off a T-8 at THE PLAYERS Championship. Straka is capable of the odd implosion like round. There was Round 3 at The Genesis Invitational (80) and the 76 at TPC Sawgrass. […]

Nick Taylor Could Again Struggle at the Valero Texas Open

Matt McCarty Seeking to Play into the Weekend in San Antonio

Matt McCarty has not had it easy over the past two PGA events. The American golfer missed the cut at THE PLAYERS Championship then again at the Valspar Championship. One of the biggest reasons is crooked numbers. Five straight rounds of 72 or worse do not help the scoring average which has risen to 70.4 […]

Brian Harman Looking to Continue Form From The Players Championship

Brian Harman nearly finished inside the top 10 at The Players Championship. The American golfer looked like he might even win the event at times. A final-round 73 kept him from contending truly, but it was undoubtedly his best effort of the season. He gained 2.81 strokes overall and was a plus in all four […]
