Charley Hoffman (+1800)
Hoffman won the 2016 Valero Texas Open and clearly loves playing in San Antonio. After edging out Patrick Reed a year ago, the 40-year-old now has nine top-15 finishes at the tournament and has never missed the cut.
Just how good has Hoffman been at the Valero Texas Open? He’s a combined 43 under par here. Only two men have gone back to back at the tournament since 2000 (Justin Leonard in 2000-01 and Zach Johnson in ’08-09) but Hoffman is in prime position to join those ranks.
Brendan Steele (+2200)
The 2011 champ, Steele is as consistent as it comes on the PGA Tour. He always manages to be in the thick of things, as he hasn’t missed a cut since last year’s PGA Championship in July.
At a layout where he’s had success in the past, I’m comfortable rolling with him – especially with the weakened field. After all, only eight of the top 50 in the world rankings will tee it up in San Antonio.
Billy Horschel (+2800)
Horschel missed the cut last week at the RBC Heritage, but don’t let that poor play fool you. The man is an absolute beast at this tournament. A year ago, Horschel finished in a tie for 54th the week before the Valero Texas Open and proceeded to end up in a fourth-place tie.
The American placed third in both 2013 and 2015, yet he’s never managed to win here. In six starts, Horschel ranks 15th on the all-time money list. He’s always a threat in Texas.
