The Valero Texas Open, originally known as the Texas Open, first took place in 1922 at Brackenridge Park Golf Course. Over the years, the event has undergone multiple changes in name and schedule but it has consistently been held in the San Antonio area. This tournament holds the distinction of being the third-oldest PGA Tour event and the sixth-oldest overall. In 2002, the Valero Foundation became the official title sponsor, and the tournament has since led the PGA Tour in charitable fundraising. In 2010, the event moved to the Oaks Course at TPC San Antonio.
The 2025 Valero Texas Open is set to be held from April 3rd to 6th at this course in San Antonio, Texas. The competition will be a 72-par stroke play event featuring 144 golfers vying for a $9.5 million prize pool. The winner will take home $1.71 million and earn 500 FedEx Cup points.
