Best Bet on Favorite to Win Valero Texas Open

Jordan Spieth +1850

Jordan Spieth has recorded three top-12 results in his last four tournaments. The Texan is a past champion, having won the Valero Open in 2021.

While his last victory was at the 2022 RBC Heritage, his recent play shows positive momentum, making him a betting consideration for The Masters as well.

Spieth captured the 2015 Masters by four shots and has six top-four finishes at Augusta National, including second-place results in 2014 and 2016.

Best Bet on Sleeper to Win Valero Texas Open

Ryo Hisatsune +3900

Hisatsune is on the verge of his maiden PGA Tour victory. His strong start to the 2026 season includes:

• Farmers Insurance Open (T-2)
• WM Phoenix Open (T-10)
• AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am (T-8)
• Players Championship (T-13)

He also placed T-5 at last year’s Valero Texas Open. Key season statistics underscore his excellent form (with PGA Tour rank in parentheses):

• Greens in Regulation (3rd)
• SG: Tee-to-Green (8th)
• SG: Off-the-Tee (15th)
• SG: Total (19th)

This combination of recent results and strong metrics points to a promising week at TPC San Antonio.

Best Bet on Longshot to Win Valero Texas Open

Austin Smotherman +9000

Austin Smotherman has notched three top-13 finishes this season.

• American Express T-8
• Cognizant Classic T-2
• Players Championship T-13

His performance has been highly variable, however, mixing those good showings with missed cuts and a withdrawal at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. His most recent outing at the Valspar Championship ended in a missed cut.

If his pattern of alternating performances continues, Smotherman could be set for another high finish. Given his long odds, he represents a worthwhile speculative wager.
