Who is playing in Valero Texas Open 2026? Full 153-man Field Breakdown

Scheffler, Fleetwood & Spieth headlines the Full 153-man field at 2026 Valero Texas field in TPC San Antonio

The PGA TOUR heads to San Antonio, Texas, for the Valero Texas Open. The event is the third oldest event on TOUR behind only the BMW Championship (1899; founded as the Western Open) and the RBC Canadian Open (1904). TPC San Antonio will play host as Akshay Bhatia returns to defend his title from 2024, which marked his second victory on TOUR.

The PGA TOUR uses a standardized system for determining event fields, based on the current season’s Priority Ranking while also including additional exemption and qualifying categories.

Field sizes can vary by event, as can the number of event-specific exemptions. Fully exempt PGA TOUR members are guaranteed entry into all Full-Field Events, with various conditional categories subject to periodic reshuffles based upon FedExCup Points accrued throughout the season. Categories with "reshuffle" notation indicate that a reshuffle period has occurred.
