Valero Texas Open 2023 Picks, Predictions, Odds, Fields: Fading Golf Expert Tyrrell Hatton at TPC San Antonio
The PGA Tour travels about 80 miles south to another stop in the Lone Star State, the 2023 Valero Texas Open at TPC San Antonio. Many of the 64 players who competed at last week’s WGC-Match Play in Austin are taking a week off to prepare for masters. Many golfers on the weaker 2023 Texas Open course will try to book a win for the trip to Augusta. Tyrrell Hatton, Texas Open 2019 winner Corey Conners and Masters 2020 champion Hideki Matsuyama have secured spots. Among those who need a win this week to qualify are Rickie Fowler, Matt Kuchar and defending Texas Open champion JJ Spaun.
Seven players are undervalued 30-1 in the latest Valero Texas Open odds from Caesars Sportsbook, led by Hatton (13-1), Conners (17-1) and Fowler (20-1). Among the other top contenders at the 2023 Texas Open are Si Woo Kim (21-1), Matsuyama (24-1), Kuchar (28-1) and Taylor Montgomery (28-1).

Valero Texas Open experts’ top picks in 2023
A great prediction from Nejad: He’s losing ground as favorites, and it’s not just because Hatton injured his arm before his poor Match Play performance. The pundit just doesn’t see the value in backing a favorite in a field like this where long-range shots have a big chance. Four of the five former Texas Open champions are first-time PGA Tour winners, and several recent winners have odds higher than 100-1. Hatton was also locked out of the Masters, and his only PGA Tour win came more than three years ago. Nejad will be looking to score big against other players this week.
One player Nejad will keep an eye on in San Antonio is Fowler. He knows the 34-year-old will be yearning to return to Augusta after missing out last year. Fowler was half a point off his team at Match Play. He beat Jon Rahm in his first match and also beat Keith Mitchell, but match star Billy Horschel beat him and advanced to the round of 16 final. Fowler has reached the top 25 five times in his previous six tournaments. He looks like he’s going to get a win at some point this year and the field could present a chance to win it.
