After a week disrupted by weather delays, the Valero Texas Open is set to wrap up Sunday at TPC San Antonio, and the stakes couldnât be higher. With a total purse of $9.8 million, the tournament continues to hold its place as one of the most lucrative stops on the PGA Tour calendar outside the majors and elevated events.
At the center of it all is a winnerâs check of $1,764,000, a payday that not only rewards performance but can significantly impact FedEx Cup standings and player momentum heading into the spring stretch.
The leaderboard remains tightly contested heading into the final round, with several players within striking distance and weather delays adding an extra layer of unpredictability. With scoring conditions expected to stabilize, Sunday sets up for a dramatic finish where a single stretch of holes could decide the tournament.

Whatâs Next on the PGA Tour
With the conclusion of the Valero Texas Open, the PGA Tour immediately turns its attention to the yearâs first major: The Masters Tournament at Augusta National (April 6-12). This transition marks one of the most exciting stretches in professional golf, where storylines built over the early season begin to culminate on the sportâs biggest stages.
Following Augusta, the schedule remains packed with high-stakes events that continue to shape the FedEx Cup race. The RBC Heritage (April 13-19) takes place at Harbour Town Golf Links in Hilton Head Island. As a Signature Event, it features a massive $20 million purse and 700 FedEx Cup points, with Justin Thomas returning as the defending champion after earning $3.6 million last year. The event will be widely broadcast across major platforms including CBS, Golf Channel, and streaming services.
The following week, the Zurich Classic of New Orleans (April 20-26) shifts the format to team competition at TPC Louisiana in Avondale. With a $9.5 million purse and 400 FedEx Cup points available, the defending champions â Andrew Novak and Ben Griffin â highlight a unique and fan-favorite stop on the schedule.
The momentum continues into early May with the Cadillac Championship (April 29âMay 3), held at the iconic Blue Monster Course at Trump National Doral. Known for its challenging layout and water hazards, the course provides another demanding test as players push deeper into the heart of the PGA Tour season.
