Valero Championship expert picks and predictions with our PGA Pro’s best bets for 2024 golf tournament
The Texas swing has benefited from a start by Scottie Scheffler in Houston and Rory McIlroy coming back to San Antonio for the second time in three years. McIlroy missed the cut in 2022 — but he, Jordan Spieth, defending champion Corey Conners, and Hideki Matsuyama highlight a Valero Texas Open field that has 11 of the top 30 in the OWGR. God bless the tournament officials with a field that size getting done on time in Rounds 1 and 2. The last time a field of 156 finished the cut on a Friday, mobile sports betting did not exist.
