Odds to Win the Valero Texas Open

With the WGC-Dell Technologies in the books, the last stop before the Masters, the Valero Texas Open, gets underway this weekend. When it comes to odds lists, Rickie Fowler is the overwhelming favorite to win the hardware.

Fowler is the +1000 front-runner at Bovada, with Matt Kuchar (+1600), Tony Finau (+1600), Jordan Spieth (+2000), Billy Horschel (+2200), Sungjae Im (+2500), Jim Furyk (+2500), Jason Kokrak (+2800), Byeong Hun An (+3300) and Lucas Glover (+3300) rounding out the top 10.

Can Spieth pick up his second win in Texas?

This is Spieth’s first trip to San Antonio since the 2015 event, as the Texan remains in search of just his second PGA Tour win in his home state. If the winner of the Valero Texas Open hasn’t already qualified for the Masters, he’ll book his ticket to Augusta National – a huge prize in and of itself.

This tournament is the sixth-oldest professional golf event worldwide, and the third-oldest on the tour as well as the longest to be held in the same city. This is Fowler’s first time teeing it up since The Players Championship a few weeks ago, while Hall of Famer Ernie Els and former major champs Padraig Harrington, Graeme McDowell and Jason Dufner will be in the field in search of a Masters spot.

landry came out of nowhere to win a year ago

Andrew Landry emerged triumphant here a year ago to collect his first PGA Tour victory in his home state, outdueling Zach Johnson and Trey Mullinax for a two-shot win. Landry separated himself from the pack on the final day thanks to four birdies in his first six holes to post a 4-under-par 68. Landry’s winning score of 17-under 271 was the lowest since the tournament moved to TPC San Antonio. Landry is +10000 to go back to back.

The course, a 7,435-yard par 72, features relatively wide fairways and shorter rough compared to past venues to host the Valero Texas Open. The track offers just 100 feet of elevation change, as downhill holes play into the prevailing wind and uphill holes play downwind. Mullinax boasts the 18-hole TPC San Antonio record of 62 set in his third round a year ago, while Landry’s 271 stands as the 72-hole record.
