The Oaks Course at TPC San Antonio has hosted the Valero Texas Open since 2010, and it will serve as the host again this week. While the course stretches more than 7,400 yards, the tight layout emphasizes avoiding catastrophic mistakes that can knock golfers out of contention. It ranks inside the top-15 annually in scoring difficulty on the PGA Tour, but that has not stopped longshots from winning in recent years. Five of the last six winners have been 20-1 or longer in the Valero Texas Open odds, including two victories from Corey Conners.

Conners is among the favorites this week, according to the latest 2025 Valero Texas Open odds. Ludvig Aberg is the 12-1 favorite, followed by Tommy Fleetwood (14-1) and Conners (18-1) on the PGA odds board. Other notable names in the 2025 Valero Texas Open field include Patrick Cantlay (20-1), Jordan Speith (22-1) and defending champion Akshay Bhatia (28-1). Before locking in your 2025 Valero Texas Open picks, be sure to see the golf predictions and projected leaderboard from the proven computer model at SportsLine.

SportsLine’s proprietary model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has been red-hot since the PGA Tour resumed in June 2020. In fact, the model is up nearly $9,000 on its best bets since the restart, nailing tournament after tournament.

This same model has also nailed a whopping 13 majors entering the weekend, including the 2024 Masters- its third Masters in a row – and last year’s PGA Championship and U.S. Open. Anyone who has followed its sports betting picks could have seen massive returns on betting apps like FanDuelDraftKings and Fanatics

Now that the 2025 Valero Texas Open field is locked in, SportsLine simulated the tournament 10,000 times, and the results were surprising. Head to SportsLine now to see the projected leaderboard.

2025 Valero Texas Open predictions 

One major surprise the model is calling for at the 2025 Valero Texas Open: Ludvig Aberg, a PGA Tour champion and this week’s favorite, stumbles and barely cracks the top five. Aberg is off to a strong start in 2025, securing a victory at the Genesis Invitational and a T-5 showing at The Sentry. However, Aberg has finished T-22 or worse in his last two starts, which includes a missed cut at The Players Championship. 

The 25-year-old has struggled with accuracy this season, ranking 99th in strokes gained: approach to green (-0.033) and 130th in driving accuracy (54.81%), which doesn’t bode well at a course like TPC San Antonio. Aberg has also been inconsistent with a putter in his hands, ranking 98th in strokes gained: putting (-0.002) and 161st in total putting (261.8). He’s not a strong pick to win it all, and there are far better values in the 2025 Valero Texas Open field. See who else to fade here

Another surprise: Daniel Berger, a 40-1 longshot, makes a strong run at the title. He has a much better chance to win it all than his odds imply, so he’s a target for anyone looking for a huge payday.

Berger certainly has the game to finish near the top of the leaderboard this week. The 31-year-old is a seasoned veteran on the PGA Tour, having racked up four career victories. He’s also been trending in the right direction in recent weeks, finishing T-20 or better in four of his last five starts, which includes a T-2 showing at the WM Phoenix Open. Berger enters this week’s event ranked fifth in total driving (80), 10th in driving accuracy (67.35%) and 12th in strokes gained: total (1.334), making him a strong value pick for your 2025 Valero Texas Open bets. See who else to pick here

How to make 2025 Valero Texas Open picks

The model is also targeting two other golfers with odds of 30-1 or longer who will make a strong run at the title. Anyone who backs these longshots could hit it big. You can only see the model’s picks here.

Damian Lillard injury update: Bucks star diagnosed with torn left Achilles tendon suffered during playoff game

Getty Images Milwaukee Bucks star Damian Lillard has torn his left Achilles tendon, the team announced Monday. It's news that the Bucks feared would be confirmed after an MRI Monday, and now the sobering reality has set in. Lillard will miss the rest of the playoffs for the Bucks, and will likely also miss a good chunk -- if not all -- of next season rehabbing from the injury.The injury occurred just six minutes into the first quarter of Game 3 on Sunday. Lillard was attempting to corral an offensive rebound off a missed Gary Trent Jr. 3-pointer, but as he tried to accelerate, the All-Star guard crumpled to the ground, visibly in pain. Play continued as Lillard sat at the 3-point line, and as Kyle Kuzma tried to help him off the floor at the next dead ball, Lillard […]

Vanderlei Luxemburgo ganha força nos bastidores do Santos para a função de coordenador técnico

Luxa pode se tornar coordenador do Santos (Foto: Gustavo Aleixo/Cruzeiro) Enquanto busca seu futuro técnico, o Santos tentará resolver algumas situações internas de futebol, indicando a possibilidade de contratar um coordenador técnico para o departamento, O nome desejado para o cargo é o de um velho conhecido do torcedor santista, Vanderlei Luxemburgo Luxa de volta?

What winning the Champions League would mean for the four remaining clubs

David Mosse Soccer Analyst <!--> And then there were four in this edition of the UEFA Champions League with the semifinals set to get underway this week. The competition began with 81 clubs from across the continent, but as has become commonplace in recent years, there is nary a Cinderella left at this stage.The increasingly top-heavy nature of European football means no one is surprised that four clubs with the pedigree of Arsenal, PSG, Barcelona and Inter are the last ones standing. All are in the top two in their domestic leagues, with the French side having already secured the Ligue 1 crown.But none of this star-studded quartet has lifted the trophy in the last nine years. Two have never won it, while the other two are desperate to end uncomfortable droughts. It should make for a dramatic conclusion to […]

Bills GM Brandon Beane expresses frustration on radio after being criticized for not drafting a receiver

The Buffalo Bills didn't win the Super Bowl last season, but the team had a lot going for it. After trading away Stefon Diggs last offseason, Buffalo's offense somehow improved and Josh Allen took home his first MVP award.While Allen and the rest of the offense look strong again in 2025, the Bills neglected to address that side of the ball during most of the 2025 NFL Draft, instead focusing on strengthening the team's defense. Buffalo's strategy — particularly the team's decision to not take a wide receiver early — came under fire on "The Jeremy and Joe" radio show in Buffalo.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementBeane made a scheduled appearance on the show shortly after that conversation, and wasn't happy about being criticized for not grabbing a receiver, according to ESPN."Well, you guys were b****ing in 2018 about Josh Allen, you guys wanted Josh […]
