The PGA Tour heads to TPC San Antonio this week for the 2026 Valero Texas Open. It is the final chance for a winner to earn an automatic Masters invite.
Field and rankings
Nine players inside the world top-20 are entered. Tommy Fleetwood, the world No. 4, leads the field.

Player notes
Ludvig Aberg makes his first start since The Players. He led late there before hitting two balls into water on the back nine.
Gary Woodland withdrew despite winning the Houston Open last week. He cited a heavy schedule and chose rest after his comeback victory.
