Rickie Fowler is one of the PGA Tour headliners for this week’s 2023 Valero Texas Open, and he needs a victory if he wants to play at next week’s Masters. The event tees off Thursday at TPC San Antonio, and Fowler ranks 59th in the world, with only the top 50 earning spots at Augusta National. Most of the world’s top players are taking the week off, so Fowler will be joined in the Texas Open 2023 field by players like Tyrrell Hatton, Hideki Matsuyama and 2019 winner Corey Conners. J.J. Spaun also will be in San Antonio to defend his title, his first on the PGA Tour. He went 13-under par last year to beat Matt Jones and Matt Kuchar by two strokes.
Hatton is the 13-1 favorite in the latest 2023 Valero Texas Open odds from Caesars Sportsbook, followed by Conners (15-1), Fowler (20-1), Si Woo Kim (21-1) and Matsuyama (24-1).
