The 2026 Valero Texas Open tees off this week at TPC San Antonio, and the SportsLine model has identified several top prop bets for the event. The model is high on Jordan Spieth to finish in the top 5 at +450 odds, Robert MacIntyre to finish in the top 10 at +250, and Rickie Fowler to emerge as the group winner in his DraftKings matchup at +290 odds.

Why it matters

The Valero Texas Open is a key tune-up event ahead of the Masters, and many top golfers are competing to stay sharp. The model's prop betting predictions could provide valuable insight for golf bettors looking to capitalize on the event.

The details

Spieth, a 13-time PGA Tour winner, has yet to finish in the top 5 this season but has placed 12th or better in 3 of his last 4 tournaments. Given the field and his history at this event, the model likes him to finish in the top 5. MacIntyre, 29, is coming off a 4th place finish at The Players Championship and has 6 top-10s in his last 12 events. He ranks highly in key stats like strokes gained: putting and off the tee. In the DraftKings group matchup, the model favors Fowler, a 6-time PGA Tour winner, to top a group that includes Michael Thorbjornsen, Sepp Straka, J.J. Spaun, and Keith Mitchell.

  • The 2026 Valero Texas Open tees off on Thursday, March 28, 2026.
