2026 Valero Texas Open Betting Online
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 2026 event gets underway on Thursday, April 2 and there are some top players who are using the tournament as a Masters tune-up. Those players include Collin Morikawa, Justin Rose, Ludvig Aberg, Tommy Fleetwood, defending champion Brian Harman, Rickie Fowler, Sepp Straka, J.J. Spaun, Russell Henley, Max Homa, Robert MacIntyre and Hideki Matsuyama, among others. No player has successfully defended his Valero Texas Open title since Zach Johnson in 2008 and 2009.
Catch all of the action at the Valero Texas Open from Thursday, April 2 through Sunday, April 5.

2026 Valero Texas Open at a Glance
Course: TPC San Antonio (AT&T Oaks), San Antonio, TX
Par: 72
Course Lengths: 7,435 yards
Defending Champion: Brian Harman
Tournament Record: -26 (Tommy Armour – 2003)
Longhots can do well in the Valero Texas Open, as the last two winners, Brian Harman and Akshay Bhatia went off at odds of 75-1. When J.J. Spaun won in 2022 he went off at golf betting odds of over 100-1. That being said, favorites can win this event, as Spieth won this tournament as the favorite and Jimmy Walker was a popular choice in 2015 and Adam Scott was the favorite in 2010. The TPC San Antonio opened in 2010 and the Oaks course was designed by Greg Norman with Sergio Garcia acting as a consultant. The Oaks course features narrow fairways and deep bunkers. The rough can also be extremely difficult to navigate, as Kevin Na took a 16 on the par-4 ninth hole in 2012.

This tournament dates back to 1922, when it was known as the Texas Open. The event has been managed by Greg Norman Production Company since 2013. Low scores are the norm in this event, and the 72-hole PGA Tour scoring record was set in 2003 by Tommy Armour III when he shot -26 under par. 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.

Arnold Palmer and Justin Leonard have won this event three times and it may take a while for their record to be equaled simply because most of the top players bypass this event to prepare for the Masters.

Betting Rules & Policies
Free Play Rules
- Free plays cannot be used on proposition bets.
- Free Plays do not earn any BetPoints™
- Bets made using Free Plays do not count towards completing any rollovers. (Free Plays are always subject to a rollover of their own. You must complete the required rollover prior to making a withdrawal).
- The maximum payout for any Free Play is $5,000.
- Free Plays that are left unused for 180 days will be removed from your account.
ROLLOVER
- Did you know that on all deposits made at BookMaker, there is a rollover requirement: an amount of betting action you must fulfill before you are eligible to make a withdrawal.
- Did you know that rollovers are calculated by multiplying the amount initially credited to your account a certain number of times? Yes! If you deposit without claiming any bonus, the rollover will always be 1x (one-time) your deposit amount. If you do claim a deposit bonus, the rollover will be higher and is based on the deposit plus bonus amount.
Wager disputes (claims)
If you disagree with any aspect of a wager you’ve placed, you are welcome to log an official dispute (commonly known as a “claim”). Claims must be reported no later than 15 (fifteen) calendar days following the settlement of the wager.
If following an initial review of the case there remains any doubt regarding the wager type, line, market, amount, or any other detail, the claim will be escalated to the BookMaker management team. All decisions made by them are final.
Wager Cash Out - How it works
With the Cash Out feature you can choose to eliminate a wager that's already been placed, and receive back either a portion, or your full stake amount.
Cash Out is selectively available on certain events, fixtures, and markets.
In order to see if a wager is eligible to be cashed out, simply navigate to your Bet Slip and check the 'My Open Bets' tab. If eligible, the Cash Out button will be displayed.
It’s also important to note that Cash Out is not contributing to any bonus or promotion including Bet Point accumulation and Rollover for releasing bonus cash.
