Valero Texas Open Prize Money Payout 2025

After the Texas Children’s Houston Open, it’s the second PGA Tour event in succession in the Lone Star State with the Valero Texas Open.

There, many of the competitors will be putting the finishing touches to their games ahead of the first Major of the year, The Masters, which gets underway on 10 April.

There is also an opportunity for those not currently in the field for the Augusta National tournament to qualify either by winning at TPC San Antonio this week or performing well enough to clamber into the world’s top 50 to receive a last-gasp invite.

Players will also be competing for a share of a sizeable purse, with $9.5m available – an increase of $300,000 on the 2024 edition. The winner will bank $1.71m, which is $54,000 more than a year ago.

Below is the prize money payout for the Valero Texas Open.

Who Are The Star Names In The Valero Texas Open?

With just a week to go until The Masters, it is no surprise to find some of the world’s best players in the field at TPC San Antonio.

In 2024, Akshay Bhatia claimed his second PGA Tour win when he beat Denny McCarthy in a playoff and he defends his title. McCarthy also returns as he goes in search of his maiden PGA Tour win.

There are also appearances from two-time Valero Texas Open winner Corey Conners, 2021 victor Jordan Spieth and Charley Hoffman, who won in 2016.

Three of the world’s top 10 are also in the field, and two of them have wins so far this season. Ludvig Aberg, who won February’s Genesis Invitational, is the highest-ranked in fifth, while Hideki Matsuyama, who claimed victory at The Sentry in January, is one place beneath Aberg in the rankings. Tommy Fleetwood, who is still looking for his maiden PGA Tour title, is ranked 10^th and also plays.

Other high-profile players in the field include US Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley, eight-time PGA Tour winner Patrick Cantlay, Tom Kim, Tony Finau and Maverick McNealy, who narrowly missed out to Aberg at the Genesis Invitational. Major winners Justin Rose and Brian Harman also play.
