2024 Valero Texas Open PGA Betting
The PGA Tour heads to Texas in early April for the Valero Texas Open in San Antonio. This tournament was changed on the PGA Tour calendar a few years back, as it used to follow The Masters, but now it is the lead up event before The Masters. The 2024 event gets underway on Thursday, April 4 and it will be interesting to see which top players use it as a Masters tune-up. Some of the early commitments to the 2024 Valero Texas Open include Rory McIlroy, Matt Fitzpatrick, Collin Morikawa, Max Homa and Ludvig Aberg, along with defending champion Corey Conners who is looking to become the first Valero Texas Open champion to defend his title since Zach Johnson in 2008 and 2009.
Catch all of the action at the Valero Texas Open from Thursday, April 4 through Sunday, April 7.

A number of marquee names have won this event including Arnold Palmer, Ben Hogan and Sam Snead.
The event is the third-oldest on the PGA Tour and the sixth-oldest pro golf tournament in the world. The tournament was moved to the current site at the TPC San Antonio in 2010.
