2026 Valero Texas Open Full Field: Last Stop Before the Masters

TPC San Antonio hosts the last PGA Tour event before the year’s first major, and a berth to the Masters is on the line for most of the field.

Gary Woodland punched his ticket to Augusta National with a win at the Texas Children’s Houston Open. Might someone else do the same this week?

That’s the biggest carrot up for grabs this week at the Valero Texas Open (well, besides a two-year exemption and $1,764,000), for players not already exempt for the season’s first major—which would be the majority of the 132 players in the field.

A handful of the best players in the world are scheduled to compete, including world No. 4 Tommy Fleetwood, No. 8 Collin Morikawa (competing for the first time since withdrawing one hole into the Players Championship) and No. 18 Ludvig Åberg (who was last seen losing the Players down the stretch). Russell Henley, Sepp Straka, former champion J.J. Spaun and Alex Noren are also top-20 players on the field list.

Brian Harman is the defending champion at TPC San Antonio, a 7,438-yard par-72 that can play difficult in the Texas winds. There have been 20 under winners (Corey Conners 2019, Akshay Bhatia 2024) but also 9 under winning scores like Harman’s last year.

The Texas Open is the third oldest event on the PGA Tour and the longest played in the same city.
